Lib's been fairly busy these days, actually. In general, I'm seeing more people wandering around, especially in Atlas, than I've seen in quite a while. Liberty seems more like a suburb than the boonies, now.
I can't really attest to the SG broadcasters, but various things that occur to me ... much teaming these days, whether trials/TFs/tips/raids/missions, is done through popular global channels. Supergroups don't tend to fulfill that role anymore, and the few that are still fairly active tend to have their own global channels for coordination, as well.
Since the advent of incarnates and trials/TFs designed for those characters, quite a lot of activity takes place at the 50+ range now. Some evenings, fully half of the non-hidden people are playing 50s. Also, some of the bigger AE exploits have been tweaked, so there's a lot less AE farm chatter.
Finally, I think (?) the latest Star Wars MMO just went live, so I'd assume a lot of folks are checking out that game, as well.
Worst case, join the LB global channel, if you like scum and villainy. 
Please try MA arc ID 351455, "Shard Stories: Scavenger's Hunt." Originally created for the Dr. Aeon contest, it explores the wild potential of one of the City's most concept-rich but content-poor settings: the Shadow Shard.
More or less the above. You really need to be on global channels to see a lot of the chatter as the game is even more heavily instanced than it used to be so you won't see many folks using broadcast or even SG/coalition chat all that much for organizing teaming or other tasks.
The VIP-only incarnate content means that many longtime players are working on their 50s rather than playing their alts at least some of the time, so that's also a factor. Add in the holiday season and the recent release of several popular new games with crossover appeal (including a very well-received new RPG game from Bethesda and a long-awaited new MMO) and you more or less have your answer.

P.E.R.C. Rep for Liberty server
Thanks guys... I never got into the whole 'global channel' thing when i played before. Is there one for low level charachters looking to get togeather with other low level charachters to have fun and level up togeather?
I'm glad there is a way to do something like this, i wasn't feeling the 'social' aspect of the game like i used to, witch was half the fun for me. Thanks again.
There are numerous global channels - and for the most part, they are public - which means all you have to do is /chanjoin LB and/or /chanjoin LFA
There are others, but those are two of them. Of the two, LB is more populated - and as such, probably has coarser language on occasion.
LFA doesn't have the chatter that LB does, but it seems to me like most of the folks belong to both channels.
As for having a lowbie friendly channel - both are.
I see recruiting for red side dfb trials, as well as level 15 blue side stuff.
If I'm on my 50 doing hero tips, and I notice someone trying to do positron, if I need that tf on an alt (or the toon I'm on), I'll send that someone a tell. I think even active but smaller SGs will use LB or LFA to fill out their teams.
With all the IOs, they are made with salvage - and there's only so many places within a base to stash salvage. So, many have their own SG to stash all their stuff. Others just sell it, or craft with it as they get it.
Either way, the global channel is how I do ALL of my teaming. It's like a gigantic SG. After a while, you'll learn who's a solid player but mean, a nice but competent player, or nice and incompetent. Liberty, like every server, has all of those and more.

A lot of people have also been out of game for the holidays, so that might make it alittle more quiet in general.
Click Here for a list of liberty global channels. Most are silence upon invite, but it shouldn't take long for you to become unsilenced.
Like they said above, LB and LFA are the main channels people use to get things going.

Welcome back!
I can only echo what others have said. I imagine that in the coming weeks there will be more activity but even with the limiting factors mentioned above there were successful pick up BAF and Keyes trials last night. Between the aforementioned channels and the help channel (if you haven't removed it by now) you should be able to find many opportunities to group. =)
Primaries: Doctor Roboto - 50(+3) MM (BOT/FF/MU)
Johnny Liberty - 50(+3) Tank (EM/INV/EM)
Lvl 50 Archetypes: MM, TNK, BRT, SCR, PB, CNT, DOM
Still working on: NONE! NCSoft won't let me. =(
I can tell you for a fact that besides LB and LFA, there are other channels out there that are SG specific. However, they do have teaming with those that are in their channels and are looking for teaming.
So here's a quick listing for ya:
/chanjoin "SisterhoodFriends"
The Sisterhood and their friends chat here and do team. All kinds of teaming, tfs and what not. Friendly folk.
/chanjoin "Crimson Order"
The Crimson Order and their coalitions and friends. They team, they TF. Good group of people.
/chanjoin "Saints Task Force"
The Paragon City Saints and their friends gather for tf's. I don't see a lot of broadcasting here for teams, but I do see it for their events and task forces.
Just a few different channels to join.
