Old-fashioned TV antenna, jocularly

Answer:

EARS

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

This clue plays on the idea of "rabbit ears," the old V-shaped TV antennas that sat on top of sets back when broadcasts were analog. The word "jocularly" hints at a pun, so instead of the literal antenna, you think of the body part that rabbits—and people—use to hear. "Ears" fits perfectly as a lighthearted nod to both the antenna’s nickname and the actual word.
