Crossword Genius

Serial broadcast in the country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

israel

'country' is the definition.
(Israel is an example)

'serial broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram.
'serial' with letters rearranged gives 'ISRAEL'.

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for israel that I've seen before include "Jaffa's country" , "Middle-Eastern state" , "Strange serial state" , "Hands perhaps" , "Middle Eastern state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
