Coronation Street will not air at its usual time next Friday due to a schedule shake-up on ITV1. The soap usually airs weekdays at 8.30pm, but fans will miss out on Friday’s instalment as it has been taken off the schedule due to sports coverage on ITV1.<\/p>\n

ITV’s coverage of England vs Uruguay begins at 7pm, ready for a 7.45pm kick-off time on Friday, March 27. This means that Coronation Street<\/a> and Emmerdale<\/a> will not air in their usual time slots.<\/p>\n

Viewers will be pleased to know they won’t fall short next week, as ITV<\/a> have scheduled an additional episode to air on Sunday instead.<\/p>\n

Emmerdale will air at the earlier time of 7pm on Sunday, March 29 shortly followed by Coronation Street at 7.30pm on ITV1, to make up for Friday’s missing episodes.<\/a><\/p>\n
