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.

Winter Now
Broadcast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no sense of doubt
You are the only one
To keep me sane when all is wrong
Oh my heart
Waits in winter now
Though you're far from me
There in the deepest snow
I only wanted you to know
Oh my heart
Waits in winter now
Falling quietly
There reminding me
Though it's just a dream
You're closer than you've ever been
Oh my heart waits in winter now
The song Winter Now by Broadcast has two main themes - love and the winter season. The first line of the chorus, "Oh my heart, waits in winter now" suggests that the singer's heart is feeling cold and lonely just as winter is. The lyrics make it clear that it is a special person who keeps the singer sane during this time. The line "There's no sense of doubt" could signify the trust that the singer feels for this person who is their only hope in hard times.
The second verse talks about how the person is far away and just a distant dream, but the winter brings them closer. This could mean that the person they are talking about resides in a place that gets colder in the winter or perhaps that the season of winter heightens the longing for the person who is loved, who is away. The last verse reminds the singer of the presence of their loved one, as the snow reminds them of their love's closeness.
Overall, Winter Now has beautiful lyrics that capture the essence of winter and love as well as the longing for someone close to you during a difficult time. The words convey a feeling of solace in love and hope in the winter.
Line by Line Meaning
Snow lies all around
The surrounding area is covered in snow
There's no sense of doubt
There is no uncertainty or confusion
You are the only one
You are the sole person
To keep me sane when all is wrong
To help me maintain my mental stability when everything is going awry
Oh my heart
My innermost being
Waits in winter now
Is currently experiencing a season of coldness and isolation
Deep in every dream
In every subconscious thought
Though you're far from me
Despite being distant from me
There in the deepest snow
There, in the midst of the heaviest snowfall
I only wanted you to know
I just wanted you to be aware
Falling quietly
Descending softly
There reminding me
There, acting as a reminder to me
Though it's just a dream
Despite it being nothing more than a figment of imagination
You're closer than you've ever been
You are more proximate to me than ever before
Oh my heart waits in winter now
My innermost being is currently experiencing a season of coldness and isolation

Martin Hannett's shadow hovers so lovingly over all of these Broadcast records... they were really everything he had hoped that pop could be...
