Irregular broadcast is copied (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

episodic

'irregular' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'broadcast is copied' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'is'+'copied'='iscopied'
'iscopied' with letters rearranged gives 'EPISODIC'.

(Other definitions for episodic that I've seen before include "Serialised" , "Occurring irregularly - is copied accordingly" , "piecemeal" , "Occurring irregularly or in instalments" , "Is copied in irregular occurrence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
