Topless broadcasting is due (5)
I believe the answer is:
owing
'due' is the definition.
('owing' can be similar in meaning to 'due')
'topless broadcasting' is the wordplay.
'topless' means to remove the first letter.
'broadcasting' becomes 'sowing' (sowing is a kind of broadcasting).
'sowing' with its initial letter taken off is 'OWING'.
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for owing that I've seen before include "(Of money) outstanding" , "Still outstanding" , "Undischarged" , "Outstanding as a debt" , "This debt has yet to be paid" .)
