I believe the answer is:

rockabilly

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

'music popular in rural usa' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'boxing film featuring a programme' is the wordplay.
'boxing film' becomes 'rocky' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'featuring' indicates putting letters inside.
'programme' becomes 'bill' (bill is a kind of programme).
'a'+'bill'='abill'
'rocky' placed around 'abill' is 'ROCKABILLY'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
