Remote studio rebuilt somewhere closer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outside

'remote' is the definition.
(I know that remote can be written as outside)

'studio rebuilt somewhere closer' is the wordplay.
'rebuilt' is an anagram indicator.
'closer' suggests the final letters (the letter which 'closes' the word).
The last letter of 'somewhere' is 'e'.
'studio' is an anagram of 'outsid'.
'outsid'+'e'='OUTSIDE'

(Other definitions for outside that I've seen before include "having emerged from the tunnel?" , "Exterior" , "External surface" , "Not indoors" , "Al fresco" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
