We study communication with consensus over a broadcast channel - the receivers reliably decode the sender's message when the sender is honest, and their decoder outputs agree even if the sender acts maliciously. We characterize the broadcast channels which permit this byzantine consensus and determine their capacity. We show that communication with consensus is possible only when the broadcast channel has embedded in it a natural ''common channel'' whose output both receivers can unambiguously determine from their own channel outputs. Interestingly, in general, the consensus capacity may be larger than the point-to-point capacity of the common channel, i.e., while decoding, the receivers may make use of parts of their output signals on which they may not have consensus provided there are some parts (namely, the common channel output) on which they can agree.
