Under Courtney Bosanko's leadership the band was frequently asked to broadcast for the BBC, the first programme being transmitted on 6th September 195l on the west of England Home Service. Featured items were Indomitable, Moments with the Masters, Harold Walker's cornet solo Oh had I Jubal's Lyre and The Light of the World.
The Temperance hall in Haviland Road acted as the studio and recordings were often made in front of an audience, with some of the earliest programmes being broadcast live. For each of the next 4 years the band contributed at least one programme to the 'Band Night' series, which was compered by Keith Hamilton-Price.
An unusual broadcast was transmitted on 26th February 1955, with 'Listen to the Band' featuring a shared programme by Boscombe and Cardiff Canton bands, their Bandmasters being brothers.
