This paper considers the source coding problem with broadcast side information. The side information is sent to two receivers through a noisy broadcast channel. We provide an outer bound of the rate--distortion--bandwidth (RDB) quadruples and achievable RDB quadruples when the helper uses a separation-based scheme. Some special cases with full characterization are also provided. We then compare the separation-based scheme with the uncoded scheme in the quadratic Gaussian case.
