BSkyB in double debut
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.British Sky Broadcasting is set to make a simultaneous debut on the London and New York stock markets on 8 December. Yesterday, the satellite broadcaster published a ``pathfinder'' prospectus for what will be one of the largest floations since the 1980s.
About 20 per cent of the company is being offered for sale in a move expected to give the company a stock market valuation of up to pounds 4.6bn, twice the size of media groups such as Carlton Communications. Individual shareholders will be offered around 10 per cent of the shares.
