Broadcast released three studio albums—The Noise Made by People (2000), Haha Sound (2003), and Tender Buttons (2005)—on Warp Records, as well as several EPs and a collaborative album with the Focus Group titled Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age (2009). Their final release as a group was Distant Call, a collection of demo recordings released in 2024.
Aside from founding members Keenan and Cargill, Broadcast experienced regular lineup changes. The band has included Roj Stevens (keyboards), Tim Felton (guitar), and Steve Perkins (drums). Keith York, Phil Jenkins, Jeremy Barnes, Neil Bullock and Ash Sheehan have also featured in the band as touring or session drummers. From 2005 to 2011, Broadcast consisted only of the founding duo. Following the death of Keenan in 2011, Cargill oversaw all remaining Broadcast activity until 2024.
