overstate

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

'exaggerate the effect' is the definition.
'overstate' can be an answer for 'exaggerate' ('overstate' can be a synonym of 'exaggerate'). I am not sure about the 'the effect' bit.

'a stereo tv broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'stereo'+'tv'='astereotv'
'astereotv' anagrammed gives 'OVERSTATE'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overstate that I've seen before include "Exaggerate, go beyond bounds of truth" , "lay it on thick" , "Exaggerate, make too much of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
