Poet BBC are broadcasting (6)
I believe the answer is:
crabbe
'poet' is the definition.
(George Crabbe 1754-1832)
'bbc are broadcasting' is the wordplay.
'broadcasting' is an anagram indicator.
'bbc'+'are'='bbcare'
'bbcare' anagrammed gives 'CRABBE'.
(Other definitions for crabbe that I've seen before include "English poet associated with 26 [STRATAGEM]" , "George ---, Jane Austen's favourite poet" , "George -, English poet (The Borough)" , "George ---, Aldeburgh poet" , "Village poet" .)
