Composer of verse in struggle with broadcaster (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stravinsky

'composer' is the definition.
(I know that Stravinsky is a composer)

'verse in struggle with broadcaster' is the wordplay.
'verse' becomes 'v'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'struggle' becomes 'strain' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'broadcaster' becomes 'sky' (Sky is a television company).
'v' going into 'strain' is 'stravin'.
'stravin'+'sky'='STRAVINSKY'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for stravinsky that I've seen before include "Igor __, "Firebird" composer" , "Igor -, Rite of Spring composer" , "he noted" , "Scorer" , "Russian composer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
