History
The band's first releases were singles released on Wurlitzer Jukebox Records ( "Accidentals" ) and Duophonic Records ("The Book Lovers") in the mid-1990s. They attracted the attention of Warp Records, who compiled the singles in 1997 on Work and Non Work.
The band has released three albums, several EPs, two singles and EP collections. In October 2009, Broadcast released a collaborative album with The Focus Group (aka graphic designer and Ghost Box label co-owner Julian House) called Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age. In late 2009 their song "I Found the F" was covered by Gravenhurst on the Warp20 (Recreated) compilation.
