Crossword Genius

Sanction, as broadcast (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assent

'sanction' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'as broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' becomes 'sent' (sent or transmitted as a broadcast).
'as'+'sent'='ASSENT'

(Other definitions for assent that I've seen before include "Agreement or concurrence" , "Accede, acquiesce" , "Say yes" , "Permission" , "Agree and concur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
