This week, Coronation Street has been part of a schedule change on ITV with this now becoming a frequent issue for the soap.
With the football season in full swing, Coronation Street seems to be constantly switching up its air times as the sports coverage takes over.
Now, Coronation Street fans want there to be a permanent schedule change for the soap.
Coronation Street schedule changes this week
This week, Coronation Street has been the subject of a schedule shakeup over on ITV.
Due to football coverage, Corrie has had to move one of its episodes around. On Wednesday, February 28, Corrie couldn’t air.
With a match of the FA Cup kicking-off at 8pm, Corrie’s usual mid-week episode was postponed.
Instead, the episode moved to Thursday, February 29 at 8pm-9pm for one hour.
This means that fans of the soap will be forced to catch up on any episodes missed due to the sports.
Coronation Street fans demand soap schedule changes for good
With Corrie often being postponed or moved due to sports coverage, fans of the soap have now demanded that ITV cuts down on the number of weekly episodes for good.
One fan wrote: “This will be an unpopular opinion I suspect, but I wouldn’t be upset to see the number of episodes per week cut.”

Another social media user replied to this comment and said: “Less is more…”
A third fan complained: “Not at all unpopular. I’ve said this previously… they use Corrie as an advertising/product placement vehicle at the expense of its quality. They should absolutely halve the number of episodes and focus on making it plausible again but, it’s one of their primary cash cows so they’ll continue to just churn out below par garbage as it brings in the £££.”
A fourth person shared: “I quite liked when they went to three episodes a week during the pandemic. I thought that was very reasonable, and easy to keep up with.”
Finally, a fifth viewer typed: “Fewer episodes per week, while I don’t think it would necessarily improve the show, would definitely help.”
When is Coronation Street on next week?
Coronation Street will go back to normal next week as there is not sport on.
