Letter: Satellite audiences
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.Sir: I am writing to thank you for the article on BSkyB (18 August). At last, after almost two years, I have the name of David Elstein, director of BSkyB.
I bought a new television set and a satellite dish in December 1991. I watched with immense delight every moment of the World Cup cricket, being an 85-year-old spinster devoted to cricket.
Almost immediately, Sky TV changed and charged a monthly rental. No warning was given that this change would be made. Then the cricket gave way to truck racing, kick boxing, etc, which I don't care for. So now I have a useless satellite dish.
But at least you have given me a name to complain to.
Yours faithfully,
