Ala(r)med a

[Polly37]

Thanks you. I have 'on air' for " Broadcasting the way we live" That gives me an a to begin 17 down so alarmed would fit but |I like rambled better.
also 24 across is Face changing sides? Sick a bout that -it's a slippery slope(3,4) I thought the first word was going to be 'ill' which would fit the L in rambled but not in alarmed,

K is suggesting ALAMEDA not alarmed.

[cathfromsaron]

on air looks great! 24a is ICE FALL (ill face)

[shooty]

13 across CAD around NOODLE = canoodled.
9 across SS = ship. Place it around under (inferior) and you get SUNDERS = parts or divides.
