2 x Iffy parsings :-
19Dn : Secret store is under stone (5) ?T?S?. STASH is a secret score, but how does "is" mean ASH (coming under ST = stone)?
6Dn : Broadcast put down again, we hear (7) ?E?A?E?. Is this just RELAYED sounding like RELAID ?

Regarding 6d, yes. I think 19d is an error. I suspect that the clue originally read 'Secret stash remains under stone' and at some point it has been edited to save space, unfortunatel y in a way which has mucked it up.
