Agree to produce Prime Time? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

permit

'agree to' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'produce prime time?' is the wordplay.
'produce' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'produced' mean this).
'time?' becomes 't'.
'prime' anagrammed gives 'permi'.
'permi'+'t'='PERMIT'

(Other definitions for permit that I've seen before include "Allow; make possible" , "Let; enabling document" , "Licence -- license" , "Allow - visa" , "Allow, sanction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
