History article approved for broadcast (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the past

'history' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'article approved for broadcast' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the 'definite article' part of speech).
'approved' becomes 'passed'.
'for broadcast' shows a homophone (sound like).
'passed' sounds like 'past'.
'the'+'past'='THE PAST'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
