Cut down the soaps to 4 times a week,Otherwise it will kill them off (If it hasn't already)


Agreed. They need to cut down Corrie to Mon, Wed, Fri at 7.30pm and Emmerdal to Tues, Wed, Thurs at 7.00pm.


I would do it like this:

7.30pm Corrie (Mon/Wed/Fri) or Emmerdale (Sun/Tue/Thu)

I didn't realise tonight's WWTBAM was a repeat. That's an absolute joke.

Why? BBC1 were also showing a repeat edition of the Weakest Link tonight

A lot of people, especially those who keep saying "Bring back dramas" seem to be forgetting that it is the middle of August where schedules are always poor

ITV's Autumn line up is very strong indeed - ratings will rise sharply then.

Simon Shaps' first work will really come out too, he's planning some major changes.

Strange that. Out of all ITV's programming they seem to be two of the ones actually capable to get a big audience these days.

Oh, and I agreed about the music shows. Doubt it'll happen though, music shows are too expensive for even a supportive broadcaster i.e. Channel 4 - at ITV where money is everything, it doesn't really stand a chance anymore Sad

I would get rid of itv4 and merge its programming into itv2. Rename itv play under a seperate brand unrelated with itv. Also get rid of Love Island, anything with the word celebrity in its title, relaunch the itv News with a more professional stance instead of the tabloid SHOCK HEADLINE style thats in place at the moment.

This surley would do wonders to itv and be a start to get the brand respected instead of the shoddy joke it is now.

I'd get rid of all the phone-in quiz programming including ITV Play

why do you have to bring BBC into this?

ITV was much better than the BBC tonight because of the X Factor. Apart from that ITV's schedule was equally as poor as the BBC with repeat after repeat.

Emmerdale Farm was Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm
Coronation Street was Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 730pm

question....

When didBBC move Eastenders from 7pm to 730pm on Tuesday's and Thursday's??? Often wondered as I never knew when they did it, as I do recall when it first started it was at 7pm to compete against Emmerdale Farm and lost (nothing changes!!!)
