Romans insist on changing conveyance (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transmission

'conveyance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'romans insist on changing' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'changing' indicates an anagram.
'romans'+'insist'='romansinsist'
'romansinsist' anagrammed gives 'TRANSMISSION'.

(Other definitions for transmission that I've seen before include "The sending of a radio signal" , "A broadcast programme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
