cable television

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

'new media outlet' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'guy's stress when jacob's son acts' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'when' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is present in the answer.
'son' could be 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son) and 's' is located in the answer.
'guy' could be 'cable' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'cable' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cable television that I've seen is " Source of numerous channels".)
