because ITV in their weird logic think that because corry is on before I'm a dead entity get me out of here that we will sit and watch it like preprogrammed zombies with no conceivable thought patterns of our own
that is like saying people who don't like fish will eat fish if you give them something they like to eat before getting them to eat the fish
I have no wish to watch a load of-z list celebs who are so desperate for media attention the have to humilitate themselves in order to get some
I completely agree, Steve.
I actually suspect that this sort of schedule shuffling will simply disappoint Corrie viewers who watch the programme when broadcast. I doubt they are going to sit through
'I Want To Be A Celebrity...'
for more than a few moments just because it's occupying the Corrie slot, or broadcast immediately after the rescheduled episode.
I do wonder what percentage of Corrie viewers are now using Freeview+/V+/Sky+ to record their soaps using series link. I only know one person who isn't using one of these facilities, so schedule shuffling is becoming an increasingly irrelevant tool for desperate broadcasters.
Many people now watch programmes when
they
want to, not when
broadcasters
want them to...so this idea of hoping that viewers will watch something because they can't find the remote control to switch channels is something of a fantasy on the part of broadcasters.
