How to Say "newscast" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “newscast” is “noticiero” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

Noticiero vs. Noticia
Don't confuse these! A 'noticia' is a single news story, while 'noticiero' is the entire show that contains many stories.
Gender Consistency
Even though 'noticia' is feminine (la noticia), 'noticiero' is always masculine (el noticiero) because it refers to the program (el programa).
Confusing 'The News' with 'The Newscast'
Mistake: “Veo las noticias en el canal 5.”
Correction: While 'las noticias' is common, 'el noticiero' specifically describes the show itself. Use 'el noticiero' when referring to the TV program structure.
