New, on the radio, putting out a broadcast for performer with limited success (3-3,6)
I believe the answer is:
one-hit wonder
'performer with limited success' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'new on the radio putting out a broadcast' is the wordplay.
'putting out' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram (letters scattered or cast around).
'new'+'on'+'the'+'radio'='newontheradio'
'newontheradio' with 'a' removed is 'newontherdio'.
'newontherdio' anagrammed gives 'ONE-HIT WONDER'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
