Huge Coronation Street and Emmerdale changes as episodes are permanently cut

The article from Metro.co.uk discusses significant changes to the broadcasting schedules of the popular British soap operas, Coronation Street and Emmerdale. ITV has decided to permanently reduce the number of episodes for both shows due to a combination of factors including declining viewership, the impact of streaming services, and the need to adapt to changing viewer habits. Coronation Street, which previously aired six episodes a week, will now be reduced to three episodes, while Emmerdale will go from six to four episodes weekly. These changes aim to concentrate the narrative, potentially improving the quality of each episode by allowing for more focused storytelling and character development. The decision has sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some expressing disappointment over less frequent episodes, while others hope this will lead to better quality content.
