Director gets Oscar after broadcast stream (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maestro

'director' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'oscar after broadcast stream' is the wordplay.
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'stream' with letters rearranged gives 'maestr'.
'o' after 'maestr' is 'MAESTRO'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for maestro that I've seen before include "Top music man" , "An artist of consummate skill, master" , "Virtuoso" , "Master of any art, from Italian" , "Expert in music etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
