Pat's bothered after broadcasting here (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rehearsed

'pat's' is the definition.
(pat can mean cliched or rehearsed)

'bothered after broadcasting here' is the wordplay.
'bothered' becomes 'arsed' ('can't be arsed' can mean 'can't be bothered').
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'broadcasting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'here' with letters rearranged gives 'rehe'.
'arsed' after 'rehe' is 'REHEARSED'.

(Other definitions for rehearsed that I've seen before include "Practised for public performance" , "went over" , "Practiced (a play)" , "Front-rear axle distance" .)
