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 disappointment that followed the indifferent FA Cup final (first game), was matched in the overall viewing figures. The game was watched by 10.92 million, compared with 12.33 million in 1992 and 14.94 million in 1991. However, though the game was generally agreed to be a switch-off, the audience grew steadily, starting at 9.1 million and reaching 13.4 million for the closing minutes.
The ratings-friendly formula in Peak Practice (ITV Mon) - star actor (Kevin Whately) playing a country doctor - did indeed deliver the goods: 13.43 million viewers turned on. Peak Practice went straight into No 5 in the ITV Top 30, slotting in behind Heartbeat (16.47 million), in which a star actor (Nick Berry) plays a country policeman.
Figures for week ending 16 May
