Second buzzer for auntie (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beeb

This clue could be a double definition.

'second buzzer' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'auntie' is the second definition.
(both are nicknames for the BBC)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for beeb that I've seen before include "Informally, the British broadcasting service" , "British Broadcasting Corporation (popularly)" , "BBC (colloq" , "It broadcasts" , "Old microcomputer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
