Satellite and Cable: 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.
Your support makes all the difference.DAVID CRONENBERG has always provoked controversy - as the furore that surrounded Crash reminded us - and revelled in shock-horror films. A double-bill of these are on show tonight. The Dead Zone (10pm FilmFour) stars Christopher Walken (right) as a man with psychic powers, while The Brood (12mdn't) has Samantha Eggar as the mother of murderous offspring.
Pete Townshend has been one of the most influential musicians of the past three decades. With The Who, he was responsible for such enduring classic singles as "My Generation" and "Pinball Wizard", as well as landmark albums and films such as Quadrophenia and Tommy. And how many young guitarists have imitated his distinctive, windmilling style (to say nothing of his characteristic GBH on the speakers)? He is the subject of tonight's Ten of the Best (10pm VH-1).
