Four points put in bulletin (8)
I believe the answer is:
newscast
'bulletin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'four points put' is the wordplay.
'four points' becomes 'news' (I've seen this before).
'put' becomes 'cast' (synonyms).
'news'+'cast'='NEWSCAST'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for newscast that I've seen before include "Source of information" , "Topical programme" , "TV/radio current affairs report" , "Current affairs bulletin" , "TV report of recent events" .)
