Response right after a news broadcast (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

answer

'response' is the definition.
(I know that response can be written as answer)

'right after a news broadcast' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'news' anagrammed gives 'nswe'.
'a'+'nswe'='answe'
'r' after 'answe' is 'ANSWER'.

(Other definitions for answer that I've seen before include "See 9" , "Response to a question" , "Solve - solution" , "Respond" , "Serve" .)
