Elton's in broadcast getting abusive (8)
I believe the answer is:
insolent
'abusive' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'elton's in broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram.
'eltons'+'in'='eltonsin'
'eltonsin' is an anagram of 'INSOLENT'.
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for insolent that I've seen before include "Lippy" , "Brash" , "Cheeky" , "Pert" , "Impudent and disrespectful" .)
