Direct glossy RTÉ production? (5)

I believe the answer is:

guide

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'direct' is the definition.
(I know that direct can be written as guide)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for guide that I've seen before include "Direct; show the way to" , "Direct, influence" , "(Tourist) book" , "Lead or conduct" , "Female scout" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
