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.EVER SINCE his startling performances in The Godfather trilogy, Al Pacino (right) has been inextricably linked with a range of gangster roles from Scarface to Carlito's Way. He returns to this fruitful territory in Donnie Brasco (10pm Sky Premier), a powerful tale of a fading mobster who takes a young man (Johnny Depp) under his wing unaware that he is in fact an undercover FBI agent. Based on a true story, this tough thriller is a far cry from director Mike Newell's Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Following in the wake of the none-too-glorious "Uncovered" documentary series which has visited Greece, the Caribbean and Ibiza, we now have Christmas Uncovered (10pm Sky One) featuring footage of festive excess. Why do people always photocopy their privates at Christmas parties?
