News I'd broadcast in northern town (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

widnes

'northern town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'news i'd broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'news'+'id'='newsid'
'newsid' with letters rearranged gives 'WIDNES'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for widnes that I've seen before include "Cheshire town" , "Mersey town/port" , "northern town" , "Name of English town" , "English sporting team" .)
