Letter: Sky's coverage of Premier League Football and other minority interests
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.Sir: So Margaret Maxwell thinks it is 'much better to have football and its supporters corralled into a minority niche' in broadcasting.
Leaving aside the point that half the population does not constitute a a minority, how much better (and cheaper) would it be to do the same for the 20 per cent who are interested in ballet, opera and serious drama?
That really would serve the interests of public broadcasting.
Yours faithfully,
