Croaky on the radio and on local television in the trailer for Black Beauty

Ross

I believe the answer is:

horsebox

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

'the trailer for black beauty' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'croaky on the radio and on local television' is the wordplay.
'croaky' becomes 'hoarse' (I've seen this before).
'on the radio' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'on local television' becomes 'box' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hoarse' sounds like 'horse'.
'horse'+'box'='HORSEBOX'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for horsebox that I've seen before include "Equine transporter" , "road trailer" , "Equine conveyance" , "Animal transporter" , "It takes animals to the races" .)
