Digital, Cable and Satellite Television: Pick of the Day
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

In The Crucible (12.15am Sky Premier), he throws himself with similar gusto into the part of John Proctor, a man who, feeling guilty about his affair with Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder), denounces her as a witch. Nicholas Hytner's power-ful screen version of the stage allegory about McCarthy-ism is written by Arthur Miller himself, who earned a Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
A VH1 Manchester double bill opens with Mad For It Special (9pm), a documentary on the birth of Britpop in the North West. This is followed by Oasis: There and Then (11pm), a film of the band's gig at their spirit-ual home, Maine Road, in 1995.
