Statement church intended for broadcast by me, for example (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pronouncement

'statement' is the definition.
(pronouncement is a kind of statement)

'church intended for broadcast by me for example' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'intended' becomes 'meant' (meaning is a kind of intending).
'for broadcast' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'me for example' becomes 'pronoun'.
'meant' is a homophone of 'ment'.
'ce'+'ment'='cement'
'cement' put after 'pronoun' is 'PRONOUNCEMENT'.

(Other definitions for pronouncement that I've seen before include "formal statement" , "An authoritative declaration" , "assertion" , "official statement" , "Official declaration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
