radio-controlled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'online' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'remotely handled broadcast scam caused controversy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'broadcast' could be 'radio' (radio broadcast is a kind of broadcast) and 'radio' is located in the answer.
'scam' could be 'con' (both can mean a fraudulent scheme) and 'con' is present in the answer.
'caused' could be 'led' (leading is a kind of causing) and 'led' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
