'make censorious remarks in main broadcast commercial' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'main broadcast commercial' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram (letters scattered or cast around).
'commercial' becomes 'advert' (I've seen this before).
'main' anagrammed gives 'anim'.
'anim'+'advert'='ANIMADVERT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for animadvert that I've seen before include "Criticise" , "Criticize" , "Censure" , "comment critically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
