Answer:

NEWS

Hint:

What a broadcast journalist delivers at the top of the hour to keep you informed.

Explanation:

The word "Anchors" here refers to news anchors, the people who present news programs on TV. They "provide" the news, so the answer is simply what they deliver—NEWS. It’s a straightforward definition where the clue plays on the double meaning of "anchor" (both the TV role and the literal object). No tricky wordplay, just a direct nod to broadcasting.
