Porn channel to fight ban
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.Red Hot TV, the pornographic satellite channel, is to challenge the proposed ban announced yesterday by Peter Brooke, Secretary of State for National Heritage.
Mr Brooke said in a written Commons answer that it would be illegal to sell decoders for the encrypted channel, or to advertise on it, or to provide any other service to support it. But it will not be illegal to receive programmes.
