Programme misguidedly omits covering clubs

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sitcom

'programme' is the definition.
(sitcom is a kind of programme)

'misguidedly omits covering clubs' is the wordplay.
'misguidedly' is an anagram indicator.
'covering' indicates putting letters inside.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'omits' is an anagram of 'sitom'.
'sitom' going around 'c' is 'SITCOM'.

(Other definitions for sitcom that I've seen before include "Type of comedy show" , "Amusing TV programme" , "Fresh Meat, for example" , "Amusing TV series (abbr.)" , "Humorous serial show" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
