  • ITV announces major changes to Coronation Street and Emmerdale scheduling - Changes are expected to make shows 'streaming-friendly' to compete

ITV has announced significant scheduling changes for its popular soaps, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, due to the upcoming UEFA European Football Championship. Starting from June 3, Emmerdale will air at 7pm instead of its usual 7:30pm slot, and Coronation Street will move to 7:30pm from its regular 8pm time. These adjustments are to accommodate the live football matches, which will dominate ITV's evening schedule. The soaps will revert to their normal times on June 4, but further disruptions are expected as the tournament progresses, with episodes potentially being preempted or rescheduled. This shift has caused some frustration among fans, who are vocalizing their disappointment on social media. Additionally, ITV has planned to broadcast the Euros matches on ITV1 and ITVX, with key games like England vs. Serbia on June 16, England vs. Denmark on June 20, and England vs. Slovenia on June 25, all starting at 8pm.
