sexton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gravedigger' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'lewd message being broadcast' is the wordplay.
'lewd message' becomes 'sext' (I have seen 'Explicit message' mean 'sext' so perhaps 'message' could also mean 'sext'. I am not sure about the 'lewd' bit.**).
'being broadcast' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'sext'+'on'='SEXTON'

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sexton that I've seen before include "They went and told the -, and / The - tolled the bell (Thomas Hood)" , "Graveyard employee" , "One looks after church and churchyard" , "parish factotum" , "Church official" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
