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.WHEN WILL the great AM/FM debate cease? I am no audiophile, but find AM transmissions grate after the clarity of FM. I only really 'discovered' radio once it moved on to FM, which is easily received on cheap equipment.
The argument for retaining AM seems like that for not staying on British Summer Time: it would upset too many Scottish hill farmers. If Michael Goldsmid (Letters, 4 October) would like to contact me, I will gladly provide him with a newfangled FM radio ( pounds 8-ish) and the expertise to tune it (try putting the aerial up).
