Cut off coverage for viewer hosted by network provider (5)
I believe the answer is:
elide
'cut off' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elide that I've seen before include "Join together, merge" , "Leave or strike out" , "Omit (a sound or syllable) when speaking" , "Leave out, vowels perhaps" , "Abridge, omit part" .)
