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

'a lift?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'sourcing bad muck to be broadcast' is the wordplay.
'to be broadcast' indicates an anagram.
'sourcing'+'bad'+'muck'='sourcingbadmuck'
'sourcingbadmuck' with letters rearranged gives 'BACKGROUND MUSIC'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for background music that I've seen before include "atmospheric enhancement" , "Muzak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
