Keyed-up broadcasting boss in East Yorkshire originally (4)

I believe the answer is:

edgy

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

'keyed-up broadcasting' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'boss in east yorkshire originally' is the wordplay.
'boss' becomes 'ed' (short for editor - newspaper boss).
'in east' becomes 'g' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'originally' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'yorkshire' is 'y'.
'ed'+'g'+'y'='EDGY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edgy that I've seen before include "Nervous; jumpy" , "Visibly nervous" , "Nervous and tense, irritable" , "Uneasy" , "Anxious" .)
