LETTER: Is quality alien to satellite TV?
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.From Mr Robin Pomeroy
Sir: Many of your readers will endorse the comments of Roy Hattersley, and not only those who wish to see Coronation Street saved from the clutches of Sky. I missed the Ryder Cup and was more than a little displeased that this biennial event had been hijacked by Rupert Murdoch.
Sky is attempting to force television viewers to purchase one of its packages by denying access to the most popular programmes. Blackmailers never win friends and the price always rises when the need is greatest.
Be faithful to our own channels and hope the real media will oppose attempts by Mr Murdoch to influence us to an even greater extent than he tries to do now. Roy Hattersley has made a start - good for him!
Yours faithfully,
Robin Pomeroy
