Coronation Street fans furious as they’re surprised by major schedule change on ITV
CORONATION Street viewers have been left furious after being surprised by a major schedule change on ITV.
The long-running soap typically airs three-hour long episodes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm.
A new instalment will be airing tonight (Tuesday, March 18) – at the later time of 9pm.
On ITV, usual programming is being ditched in favour of coverage of Friday’s World Cup qualifier.
The England vs Albania match’s kick-off at 7:45pm has disrupted both Corrie and Emmerdale‘s scheduled times.
To make up for lost coverage, the ITV soap has been handed an additional episode for this evening.
