Crossword Genius

Faculty I quote on the radio (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyesight

'faculty' is the definition.
(I know that eyesight is a type of visual modality)

'i quote on the radio' is the wordplay.
'i' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in other clues).
'quote' becomes 'cite' (synonyms).
'on the radio' shows a homophone (sound like).
'cite' sounds like 'sight'.
'eye'+'sight'='EYESIGHT'

(Other definitions for eyesight that I've seen before include "Seeing faculty" , "Purpose of certain organs" , "quality of viewing" , "View" , "Requirement to look" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
