Dreaded activity programmed for entertainment! (5)
I believe the answer is:
radio
'dreaded' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for radio that I've seen before include "Communications medium" , "Communicate with" , "Sound broadcasting" , "Broadcasting medium" , "Electronic medium of communication" .)
