Made up name in erudite broadcast (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reunited

'made up' is the definition.
(as in making up after an argument)

'name in erudite broadcast' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'erudite' with letters rearranged gives 'reuited'.
'n' placed inside 'reuited' is 'REUNITED'.

(Other definitions for reunited that I've seen before include "Brought together again after separation" , "Brought or joined together again" , "Got together again" , "back with old friends?" , "made one again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
