Examine European broadcast (5)
I believe the answer is:
check
'examine' is the definition.
(checking is a kind of examining)
'european broadcast' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'czech' (Czech is an example).
'broadcast' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (how the word might sound on the radio or TV).
'czech' sounds like 'CHECK'.
(Other definitions for check that I've seen before include "Refrain or verify" , "Investigate; rein in" , "Verify or inspect as for accuracy" , "retard!" , "Examine to determine accuracy" .)
