From Idaho, tidings recently announced (3)

I believe the answer is:

hot

'recently announced' is the definition.
(as in hot gossip)

'from idaho tidings' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HOT' is hidden in the letters of 'idaho tidings'.

(Other definitions for hot that I've seen before include "Torrid" , "Having a high temperature" , "Fiery" , "Radioactive; very warm" , "Very popular" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
