folksy

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

'quaintly traditional' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'return of live sky broadcast' is the wordplay.
'return' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'live' becomes 'l' (electrical abbreviation).
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'of' reversed gives 'fo'.
'sky' anagrammed gives 'ksy'.
'fo'+'l'+'ksy'='FOLKSY'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for folksy that I've seen before include "Having characteristics of traditional culture" , "Affable, (affectedly) ordinary" , "Simple and homely" , "Traditional - informal and unpretentious" , "Simple and unpretentious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
