leicester square

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

'station requires select ground to provide coverage' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'area' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'area' could be 'leicester' (Leicester is an example) and 'leicester' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'square' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leicester square that I've seen before include "royal premiere venue" , "London film premiere location" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
