Satellite and cable: 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.
Your support makes all the difference.THE PLOT OF Addicted to (8.30pm Sky Premier) is featherweight, but this satellite premiere makes for an enjoyably undemanding 100 minutes all the same. Directed by Griffin Dunne, it stars Meg Ryan (right) and Matthew Broderick as two jilted lovers who plan to exact revenge on their former partners (Tcheky Karyo and Kelly Preston, Mrs John Travolta in real life). Inevitably, during their scheming they gradually find themselves drawn to each other. What with Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail, her fluffy comedy drama with Tom Hanks, just coming out, Ryan is making something of a speciality of these light romances.
"Violent Volcano", tonight's Extreme Earth (9pm National Geographic), focuses on the devastating effect of the volcanic eruptions on the Caribbean island of Montserrat.
