Perhaps Auntie's broadcast was on mink (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kinswoman

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

'perhaps auntie's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'broadcast was on mink' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'was'+'on'+'mink'='wasonmink'
'wasonmink' anagrammed gives 'KINSWOMAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kinswoman that I've seen before include "Relation" , "Female relative" , "one of the family!" , "Female family member" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
