The Broadcasting System is the fourth and final studio album by American post-hardcore band Trenchmouth.

Produced by Casey Rice, it was released on May 7, 1996 through Skene!

The album marks as a shift to bass-heavy dub sound from the band's post-hardcore/math rock style.

[2][3] Allmusic critic Joshua Glazer described the album as "an under-recognized example of the mid-'90s indie scene's fascination with dub/reggae studio techniques."

Glazer further wrote: "Although lacking in the power and diversity of Trenchmouth's previous album, Trenchmouth Vs. the Light of the Sun, The Broadcasting System is a masterful example of the long standing affinity between punk rock and Jamaican music.
