Show the four holding hands with model (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newscast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'model' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'show the four holding hands' is the wordplay.
'show' becomes 'news show' (news is a kind of show).
'the four holding hands' becomes 'cast' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'news'+'cast'='NEWSCAST'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newscast that I've seen before include "media reports" , "Broadcast of recent happenings" , "Current affairs bulletin" , "TV feature maybe" , "Current affairs relay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
