US television award (4)
I believe the answer is:
emmy
'us television award' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for emmy that I've seen before include "Academy of Television Arts and Sciences award" , "Mark of quality on box" , "TV award; girl's name" , "Uncle Sam's award" , "TV's equivalent of an Oscar" .)
