Broadcast clip about space affair, used by writer (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
pencil case
'by writer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'broadcast clip about space affair' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'space' becomes 'en' (in printing, a space as wide as a letter 'n').
'affair' becomes 'case'.
'clip' with letters rearranged gives 'pcil'.
'pcil' enclosing 'en' is 'pencil'.
'pencil'+'case'='PENCIL-CASE'
'used' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pencil case that I've seen before include "Crayons may have been put in this" , "Clean spice (anag.)" , "drawers here?" .)
