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.

We've Got Time
Broadcast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What fools cannot buy, what lives cannot hide?
You wrote your name, in silver light
The question still unanswered, just in case it's not right
We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot have
Who knows, we'll work this rhythm out
Miracle man possessing all that you can
Will you change the circumstance
Let it happen by chance?
You wrote your name in silver light
The question still unanswered
Just in case it's not right
We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot have
Who knows, we'll work this rhythm out
We've got time to work it out
We've got what numbers cannot have
Who knows, we'll work this rhythm out
The lyrics of Broadcast's song We've Got Time speak to the idea of a potential romantic or interpersonal relationship between two people who are drawn to each other. Lines such as "You and I, got something, why don't we try / What fools cannot buy, what lives cannot hide?" suggest an attraction and a potential for a deeper connection, while "You wrote your name, in silver light / The question still unanswered, just in case it's not right" suggests a hesitancy or uncertainty about the potential relationship.
The chorus, "We've got time to work it out / We've got what numbers cannot have / Who knows, we'll work this rhythm out" speaks to a confidence in the potential for the relationship, as well as an acknowledgement that building a connection takes time and effort.
The second verse introduces the idea of a "miracle man" who may have the power to change circumstances or make things happen by chance. It is unclear if this refers to one of the people in the potential relationship or to an outside force. Either way, the verse suggests a sense of forces beyond the control of the two people involved.
Overall, the lyrics of We've Got Time speak to the excitement and uncertainty that can come with the early stages of a potential relationship, while also acknowledging the role time and effort play in building connections.

Io e te abbiamo qualcosa, perché non proviamo?
Cosa gli sciocchi non possono comprare, quali vite non possono nascondere?
Hai scritto il tuo nome, in una luce d'argento.
La domanda è ancora senza risposta, nel caso non sia giusto.
Abbiamo tempo per risolverlo. Abbiamo ciò che i numeri non possono avere.
Chissà, elaboreremo questo ritmo.
L'uomo miracoloso possiede tutto ciò che puoi.
Cambierai la circostanza.
Lascia che accada per caso? Hai scritto il tuo nome in una luce argentata.
La domanda ancora senza risposta.
Nel caso non andasse bene. Abbiamo tempo per risolverlo. Abbiamo ciò che i numeri non possono avere.
Chissà, elaboreremo questo ritmo.
Abbiamo tempo per risolverlo. Abbiamo ciò che i numeri non possono avere.
Chissà, elaboreremo questo ritmo.
