Crossword Genius

Tonight, also broadcasting collector (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anthologist

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

'collector' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'tonight also broadcasting' is the wordplay.
'broadcasting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tonight'+'also'='tonightalso'
'tonightalso' is an anagram of 'ANTHOLOGIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for anthologist that I've seen is " He collects a lot".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
