provost

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

'college head' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'redistributed poor tvs' is the wordplay.
'poor tvs' anagrams to 'PROVOST'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for provost that I've seen before include "College head - Scots mayor" , "(In Scotland) chief district councillor - college head" , "College or cathedral head" , "The head of certain colleges like Trinity, Dublin" , "College head; minister" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
