A news room broadcast for lady athletes (9)

I believe the answer is:

oarswomen

'lady athletes' is the definition.
(female rowers)

'a news room broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram (letters scattered or cast around).
'a'+'news'+'room'='anewsroom'
'anewsroom' with letters rearranged gives 'OARSWOMEN'.

'for' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
