What I might be in series from television, in theory (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ninth

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

'what i might be in series' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'from television in theory' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'NINTH' can be found hidden inside 'television in theory'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ninth that I've seen before include "Next after eight" , "Beethoven's "Choral", for example" , "One over the eighth" , "Third of a third" , "Ordinal number" .)
