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.FLEXTECH, the supplier of basic tier pay-TV channels such as UK Gold and Living, blamed the rapid consumer take-up of digital television, in response to free set-top box offers, for a return to losses in the first half.
The interim pre-tax loss before tax was pounds 2.9m compared with a pre-tax profit of pounds 1.7m a year ago. Sales narrowed 2.5 per cent to pounds 62.5m. "The transition to digital is faster than expected," said Adam Singer, chairman and chief executive. "But this is not a bad problem to have. It means every digital home receives some Flextech channels."
The stock closed down 73.5p at 981.5p.
