Desperately hopes broadcast to get commendation (6)
I believe the answer is:
praise
'commendation' is the definition.
(I know that praise is a type of commendation)
'desperately hopes broadcast to get' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'get' could be 'raise' (as in to raise or get money) and 'raise' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'p' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for praise that I've seen before include "Eulogise" , "plaudit" , "Approve and commend" , "Commend or laud" , "Be aware of (something)" .)
