'showcased' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'wireless broadcast on air distorts artist' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'wireless' could be 'radio' (synonyms) and 'radio' is present in the answer.
'artist' could be 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts) and 'ra' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'being' is the link.
