Strange accents on air in America? (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transoceanic

'in america?' is the definition.
(America is across the ocean from the UK)

'strange accents on air' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'accents'+'on'+'air'='accentsonair'
'accentsonair' is an anagram of 'TRANSOCEANIC'.

(Other definitions for transoceanic that I've seen before include "across the Pacific, say?" , "across the water" , "Crossing, eg, the Atlantic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
