Some loathe media having a recurring motif (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

themed

'having a recurring motif' is the definition.

'some loathe media' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'THEMED' is hidden in the letters of 'loathe media'.

(Other definitions for themed that I've seen before include "setting" , "with thread?" , "Given recurrent idea" , "Like some parties" , "Like special crossword" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
