Like some "On Air" signs (4)

I believe the answer is:

neon

(Other definitions for neon that I've seen before include "Type of lamp" , "Type of lighting" , "Brightly coloured advertising sign" , "Element 10, used in lights" , "Gas used in fluorescent lights" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
