Odd emcee streams about fences (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

receivers

'fences' is the definition.
(I know this)

'odd emcee streams about' is the wordplay.
'odd' means one should take alternating letters.
'streams' becomes 'rivers' (river is a kind of stream).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
The alternating letters of 'emcee' are 'ece'.
'ece' put into 'rivers' is 'RECEIVERS'.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
