Crossword Genius

Old European with maiden featured in great news broadcast (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

west german

'old european' is the definition.
(former country)

'maiden featured in great news broadcast' is the wordplay.
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'featured in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'great'+'news'='greatnews'
'greatnews' with letters rearranged gives 'westgeran'.
'm' inserted within 'westgeran' is 'WEST GERMAN'.

'with' acts as a link.
