Free to air, do we half listen to this? (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

radio two

'listen to this?' is the definition.
(BBC Radio 2)

'free to air do we half' is the wordplay.
'free' is an anagram indicator.
'half' suggests halving the letters.
'we' halved is 'w'.
'to'+'air'+'do'+'w'='toairdow'
'toairdow' is an anagram of 'RADIO TWO'.

(Another definition for radio two that I've seen is " Broadcaster".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
