Yup, the days of regional corporate pride/arrogance are long gone, hard commercial reality is the order of the day. You may hate Emmerdale (I can't stand the ruddy thing myself), but it's there to stay at 7pm until viewers finally come to their senses.
In any case, it's one thing to replace the show with a regional soap (which the local contractor will have put a significant investment into), it's quite another to replace it with repeats of daytime gameshows. The advertisers would love that one I'm sure.
I'd personally like to see ITV bring back World In Action or This Week/TV Eye, and put that on instead of Emmerdale, but it ain't gonna happen.
