The Broadcaster was an English language local community tabloid newspaper published by several owners in Western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia that principally covered the Municipality of Holroyd and surrounding districts.

First published in 1932 by David Hume from his parents' home at 18 Fairview Street, Guildford, New South Wales and printed by the North Shore Press in North Sydney, The Broadcaster was a free weekly local newspaper published on Thursdays throughout Merrylands, Guildford, Fairfield, Smithfield, Canley Vale, Cabramatta, Liverpool and surrounding districts.

[4] The heavy costs involved in publishing, printing and distributing the newspaper over such a wide area resulted in Hume being unable to continue, and the ownership of The Broadcaster was transferred to William (Bill) J.

The new proprietor's printing office in Smart Street, Fairfield had new and up-to-date plant and staff capable of handling the whole undertaking.

To further reduce costs, Bright decided to confine the circulation to Holroyd and surrounding districts and give preference to local advertisers.

[6] By 1942, Bright was producing three newspaper titles on Thursdays - The Broadcaster, The Biz and The Liverpool News,[7] but the workload became difficult to maintain and the decision was made to bring the publication date of the smaller four-page Broadcaster forward to Wednesdays, with any local news crowded-out of the paper to be published in the larger six-page Biz, the following day.

[13] By 1963, three of Cumberland Newspaper's titles - The Advance, The Biz and The Broadcaster, were operating from the same office, located in Spencer Street, Fairfield.
