Crossword Genius

Fix theatre company broadcast (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repair

'fix' is the definition.
('repair' can be a synonym of 'fix')

'theatre company broadcast' is the wordplay.
'theatre company' becomes 'rep' (short for 'repertory theatre').
'broadcast' becomes 'air' ('air' can be a synonym of 'broadcast').
'rep'+'air'='REPAIR'

(Other definitions for repair that I've seen before include "service" , "retire" , "Go - fix" , "Patch up" , "darn?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
