Crossword Genius

Heard fish on the radio (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tuner

'the radio' is the definition.
('tuner' can be a synonym of 'radio')

'heard fish' is the wordplay.
'heard' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'fish' becomes 'tuna' (tuna is a type of fish).
'tuna' sounds like 'TUNER'.

'on' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tuner that I've seen before include "Adjuster of pianos" , "Piano adjuster" , "piano man?" , "Motor specialist" , "Radio receiver" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
