Well its a good schedule and the only thing I would change would be to get rid of the 2nd episode of Corrie you have scheduled on a Friday. Both of the soap on ITV should be 4 nights a week, absolute MAXIMUM IMHO.
I also think the late news would be better staying at half an hour as you have to include the regional news in that.

A much better range of different genres. At the end of the day, Coronation Street and Emmerdale are not going to reduce episode quotas to any less than five, so as Brekkie Boy tried, I have gone for a way which accomodates both five episodes and a nice schedule.
Coronation Street airs Sunday Monday Wednesday & Friday at 7.30pm with an extra episode as part of Friday night's lineup at 9pm. Each week the 9pm episode could be used as a climax to the week's events and also to screen post-watershed content such as mild-language.
Emmerdale airs Sunday Monday Tuesday Thursday & Friday at 7.00pm.
There is a range of Documentaries and Regional programming, plus Drama.
ITV News airs at 6.00pm till 7.00pm including Regional, National and Internation news. The late news airs at 10pm for 15 minutes. ITV should focus on their teatime bulletin and leave the late bulletin short. This allows further dramas, documentaries and films to be in an earlier slot, rather than 11pm, which is too late for many.
I also think ITV should create an established drama to rival BBC1s Casualty on Saturday's. Furthermore, I have included an established late drama to the Wednesday lineup at 10.15pm. There are two Lifestyle slots on Monday and Wednesday at 8.30pm which would include programmes to rival Channel 4's plethora of House programmes and health shows as well as holiday programmes and general lifestyle programming.
I feel my lineup adds variety to ITV whilst keeping within the boundaries of what is possible.
Views?
