The band originally consisted of Trish Keenan (vocals), Tim Felton (guitar), James Cargill (bass), Roj Stevens (keyboards) and Steve Perkins (drums).
Perkins and Stevens left the band in 2000, and Felton left in 2004. Stevens released a solo album under the name Roj, and Felton formed the group Seeland with Billy Bainbridge from Plone. After the January 2011 death of Trish Keenan, James Cargill is the only current member of the band.
The band has released five albums in their career: "The Noise Made by People" (2000), "Haha Sound" (2003), "Tender Buttons" (2005), "Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age" (2009, with The Focus Group) and "Berberian Sound Studio" (2013), the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Cargill has stated that plans for an album featuring Keenan's final recordings is in the works.
The band's first releases were singles released on Wurlitzer Jukebox Records ( "Accidentals" ) and Duophonic Records ("The Book Lovers") in the mid-1990s. "The Book Lovers" was also featured on the soundtrack of the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. They attracted the attention of Warp Records, who compiled the singles in 1997 on "Work and Non Work".
The band was chosen by Matt Groening to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival he curated in May 2010 in Minehead, Somerset, England.
The band's style is a mixture of electronic sounds and Keenan's 1960s-influenced vocals. It is heavily influenced by the 1960s influenced American psychedelic group The United States of America, using many of the same electronic effects. It was also reminiscent of Stereolab. However, despite the similar musical pedigree, Broadcast's music is often darker and edgier in sound – with amorphous samples and analogue dissonance giving it a retro-futuristic sci-fi edge.
On January 14th, 2011, Trish Keenan died from complications caused by pneumonia.

Broadcast Lyrics
Sentimental ornament
Enamel animal
I keep the wild and free
On the mantelpiece
Elegant elephant
Emotional element
It keeps the memory
Mold it in it's pottery
Sentimental ornament

I keep the wild and free
On the mantelpiece
Elegant elephan
Enamel animal

Emotional element
It keeps the memory
Mold it in it's pottery

LYRIC :
You can't pretend cause I can see
You're not the boy you used to be
Trust me with a secret you can't keep
I watch your eyes they shift with doubt
So every night when stars come out
I try to read your personality
The writing for pleasure you wouldn't let me read
The things you miss out when you try to mislead
You said you wrote a page about me
In your diary
Your heart a place that no one sees
You can't disguise your own unease
Trust me with a secret you can't keep
The writing for pleasure you wouldn't let me read
The things you miss out when you try to mislead
You said you wrote a page about me
In your diary
Don't you be afraid
There's bound to be a place
No matter who or where you are
You've got to be willing
Don't be so afraid
You're bound to make mistakes
No matter who or where you are
You've got to be willing

The world has seen few bands so complete and pure in conveying the music and esthetics. Broadcast is in our hearts forever.

They were only beginning to enter uncharted territory, when Trish's life was cut short. Her absence is painfully felt everyday.
Miguel Olegário
I love it so much. I identify with it so much. Thanks God, for the sound and vision you gave us!
