Coronation Street will air tonight (January 9), despite it being a Thursday, in another change to the usual schedule.
Despite Christmas season now being over, the schedule changes haven’t stopped for the soaps as Corrie switches the day it airs this week.
Instead of airing on the usual Friday, the ITV soap will now air tonight instead. But, why?
Coronation Street will air tonight due in schedule change
Coronation Street usually airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays – but not this week.
Instead of airing on Friday, the soap will air an hour-long episode this Thursday evening instead between 9pm-10pm.
This means that by the end of this evening, viewers will be caught up with their usual three episodes of Weatherfield drama.
Tomorrow night (January 10), Corrie cannot air due to the FA Cup taking over the ITV main channel. From 7.30pm-10.30pm, a football match between Aston Villa and West Ham United will take place.
For fans who wish to watch tonight’s episode of Corrie early, they can do so by heading over to ITVX where then episode has been available since 7am this morning.
What to expect from Coronation Street tonight
Tonight’s episode sees the return of Rob Donovan in exciting scenes. With Carla needing a kidney transplant, Bobby heads to the prison to see his dad and asks him to donate his kidney.
