Fans of ITV soap operas have been incensed about the disruption of Emmerdale and Coronation Street’s regular schedule.
Fans of ITV soap operas are “disappointed” at a recent announcement. Fans of Coronation Street and Emmerdale have seen their cherished soap operas removed off the calendar in favor of the Euros 2024 football competition.
Since the UEFA European Football Championships got underway on June 14, the broadcasters have made a number of announcements regarding adjustments to the TV schedule. The last few weeks have been dominated by coverage, and on July 14 the competition is scheduled to conclude.
Today, ITV shared a soap schedule for the upcoming week, as they wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Wondering where to find the Soaps this week? We’ve got you covered!”
The broadcasters attached a TV schedule showing that Emmerdale would air at 7pm till 8pm on Monday, July 8, with Corrie following straight after from 8pm to 9pm. On Tuesday, July 9, Emmerdale will air for 30 minutes, starting at 7.30pm, with Coronation Street following at 8pm until 9pm.
No soaps will air on ITV on Wednesday, July 10 but Emmerdale fans can still get their fix as it is set to air on Thursday, July 11, for an hour at 7.30pm. It will also air for a 30 minute episode from 7pm on Friday, July 12.
However, many expressed dissatisfaction with the upgrade, claiming that they would be missing out on episodes of their favorite soap operas. A user posted a question: “Just two Corrie’s? Why can’t Friday’s football game air on a different channel? The BBC altered EastEnders.
“That means by the end of the week, we have missed three hours of Corrie,” another person said. When are we going to catch up?
“Why is Emmerdale always on, but #Corrie is taken off?” wrote a third user. We are lacking so many #Corrie episodes—only two every week—when will we be able to catch up?
