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

'pranks' is the definition.
('antic' can be a synonym of 'prank')

'auntie broadcasted college and school' is the wordplay.
'auntie' becomes 'aunt' ('aunt' can be a synonym of 'auntie').
'broadcasted' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'broadcast' mean this (how the word might sound on the radio or TV)).
'college' becomes 'ic' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'school' becomes 's'.
'aunt' sounds like 'ant'.
'ant'+'ic'+'s'='ANTICS'
