Country broadcasting serial (6)

I believe the answer is:

israel

'country' is the definition.
(Israel is an example)

'broadcasting serial' is the wordplay.
'broadcasting' indicates an anagram.
'serial' with letters rearranged gives 'ISRAEL'.

(Other definitions for israel that I've seen before include "Large bird cage" , "Middle-Eastern country" , "Middle Eastern state" , "Eastern Mediterranean country" , "Strange serial country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
