Digital, Cable and Satellite Television: Pick of the Day
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.

In this comedy, adapted from the successful stage-play by John Godber, Samantha Janus plays a fitness instructor asked to train a team of incompetent players for a match against the champions of a pub rubgy league. For this satellite premiere, the stalwart cast of British telly stars includes Neil Morrissey, Griff Rhys Jones and Tony Slattery.
In Misery (10pm FilmFour), an unbearably tense thriller from Rob Reiner, Kathy Bates (right) shines as the obsessed No 1 fan of author James Caan. After saving him from a car crash, she takes him prisoner in her remote house. One to watch through splayed fingers.
