Coronation Street

I know this is a Corrie thread but both shows are on ITV and made by ITV Studios so might as well post this here. Emmerdale is also going down to 3 eps a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday the same as Corrie.

Makes sense IMO to keep it to those 3 nights as Tues and Thurs they could use an hour long repeat at 7pm if they wished, esp on Thursdays when we lose 2 Emmerdale episodes, could bump the 7.30pm show to 8pm maybe. This is just me speculating, I've not seen any amended schedules as yet.

Meerkats back tonight

I’m guessing they were pulled on Friday as they were advertising Meerkat Meals, whereas now they’ve dug out older ones

They were pulled on Emmerdale as well on Friday though, so I assume it was some agreement to remove them from both shows that night, not just because they were advertising eating out. Unless the Emmerdale ones were pulled on Friday because you can't get McCain frozen foods for love nor money in our ransacked supermarkets

Meals and Movies are out.

And you can’t get any McCain’s frozen chips for love nor money!

I wasn't expecting the Boris broadcast to actually be replacing Coronation Street, just expected it to be something on the news channels. Shows it's serious.

It's a good thing Corrie and Emmerdale isn't sponsored by a pasta company.

It didn't replace Corrie. ITV now running five minutes later than advertised.

The Meerkat sponsorship was absent from today’s ITV3 episodes.

So was the McCain sponsorship on today's ITV3 Emmerdale.

And we've just had an advert for Trolls World Tour during Corrie- "In Cinemas April 6th". I don't think so for some reason, seeing as we'll still be locked down by then. Shouldn't that advert really have been pulled days ago?

Yeah, that advert should've been updated - it's releasing on streaming instead.
