Shock announcement of Times (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daze

'shock' is the definition.
(I know that shock can be written as daze)

'announcement of times' is the wordplay.
'announcement of' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'times' becomes 'days' (day is a unit of time).
'days' sounds like 'DAZE'.

(Other definitions for daze that I've seen before include "bowl over" , "Stun using adze" , "Benumb" , "can turn out to be stunning?" , "Confused state unable to think clearly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
