On Friday satellite TV is lively (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

frisky

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

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

'on friday satellite tv' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'friday' becomes 'Fri' (synonyms).
'satellite tv' becomes 'sky' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'fri' next to 'sky' is 'FRISKY'.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for frisky that I've seen before include "Frolicsome" , "Playful, full of energy" , "Animated" , "Energetically playful" , "High-spirited" .)
