11a DJ broadcast mobile phone connection . Answer given in 225 as "DJ broadcast =air, mobile phone =line"
I think I'm being slow this morning but why is "DJ broadcast" air and why is a mobile phone a line ? I think that connection =airline is pushing it a bit .

Not a good clue. Best I can see is that to broadcast is to air and line can mean phone as in “I’m on the line”.
Airline can also mean a pipe carrying air, a connection of sorts, perhaps that’s the intended meaning?

As someone has just pointed out, surely this is a double definition with the answer being AIRTIME.
“DJ broadcast” and “mobile phone connection”

Thanks, Jono. From the OP, I thought the parsing (the not great version!) had been given with the solution.
