why doesn't UTV Move Emmerdale to 5pm slot?

iF it wasn't for price is right, Supermakert sweep right now it be filled even other crap like plants ( UN)funniest anmails

if there moved it to 5pm then it woudl also fill up more space for Peak time viewers!

It won't work as regions can't play national programmes out before network.

I don't get why they are showing Price is Right and not Supermarket Sweep. Maybe it'll come along after TPIR.

HTV got around that by showing the previous days Emmerdale in a teatime slot during late 2000 when they had the own soap in the 7pm slot, so we were 1 day behind the network with Emmerdale.

Wasn't that Nuts and Bolts , as there was an HTV soap that got an outing on ITV2 around that time. Didn't know HTV showed it at 7pm mind.

Yes Nuts and Bolts. Quite a good soap IMO. I enjoyed it. The first 2 series in the autumn of 1999 and 2000 were shown in the 7pm slot. It was shown Monday and Friday at 7pm in autumn 1999 whilst Emmerdale was on Tues-Thurs. By the time the 2nd series of Nuts and Bolts aired in 2000 Emmerdale had increased to 5 episodes a week so HTV moved it to 5.30pm while they showed Nuts and Bolts at 7pm at the rate of 5 nights a week so we got through series 2 in something like 5 or 6 weeks.

The final 2 series of Nuts and Bolts (2001 and 2002) were shown Monday and Friday in the 5.30pm.

I believe the earlier series were shown on ITV2 in a 1 hour slot.

Agreed, 6 days a week is far too much, ITV blandly predictable Mad

That's the only way it could be done, but they wouldn't do it. Emmerdale is a popular programme so you'd not only annoy regular viewers who can't see it at 5, they'll just leave the channel and discover the ITV regions on their sky box.
