TV broadcast with top aria singer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pavarotti

'singer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tv broadcast with top aria' is the wordplay.
'broadcast with' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'top'+'aria'='toparia'
'tv' anagrammed with 'toparia' can make 'PAVAROTTI'.

(Other definitions for pavarotti that I've seen before include "Air ace" , "Operatic tenor, d.2007" , "Luciano ......... popular modern Italian tenor." , "Singer" , "Luciano . . . . . . . . ., great Italian tenor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
