Next week, fans of Coronation Street will have to make some adjustments to their usual viewing schedule. As a rare occurrence, the popular soap will air an episode on Sunday, disrupting the usual Friday night slot. This change is due to ITV1's live coverage of the England women's football team's friendly against Germany on the 25th of October. However, viewers can still catch their favorite show at its regular time on Monday the 21st and Wednesday the 23rd. The third installment of the week's drama will then air on Sunday the 27th at 8pm.
To avoid any confusion, Metro has reached out to ITV for confirmation on when the Sunday episode will be available on their streaming platform, ITVX. This comes after the recent changes made by the broadcaster, which altered the way fans can watch Coronation Street and Emmerdale on the platform.
In other news, earlier this month, ITV announced that both soaps will now be released first on ITVX before their traditional TV broadcast. This means that new episodes will be available on the streaming platform at 7am, giving fans the opportunity to watch their favorite shows ahead of their evening airing. According to ITV, this change is part of their strategy to provide viewers with the ultimate choice in how they watch their programs.
Coronation Street fans are currently on the edge of their seats with the ongoing "Who killed Joel?" storyline. The recent shake-up brings the soap in line with its BBC rival, EastEnders, which has been releasing episodes on iPlayer at 6am before their TV broadcast. Iain MacLeod, Executive Producer for Continuing Drama at ITV, expressed excitement over the change, stating that it's great news for soap fans. He also added that it gives viewers the flexibility to watch their favorite show at a time that suits their busy lives.
MacLeod further joked about the convenience of watching the latest drama from the Dales or the Cobbles on the tram to work or over a cup of tea after dropping off the kids at school.
