Widen these pieces for sequence shown between programmes (5)

I believe the answer is:

ident

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

'sequence shown between programmes' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'widen these pieces' is the wordplay.
'pieces' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'piece of' mean this).
'IDENT' is hidden within 'widen these'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ident that I've seen before include "short film sequence" , "Short BBC sequence" , "image on screen" , "not much, which shows your station" , "Broadcast indicating TV channel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
