Ring daily? That would be ...? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oft

'would be ?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'ring daily?' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ring).
'daily?' becomes 'FT' (Financial Times, daily newspaper).
'o'+'ft'='OFT'

'that' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oft that I've seen before include "Many a time to the poet." , "Many times, of old" , "(Poetically) frequently" , "Frequently (poetic)" , "''... in the stilly night'' (Moore melody)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
