Coronation Street and Emmerdale Removed from ITV Schedule Again
ITV is removing Coronation Street and Emmerdale from its Tuesday, August 25 schedule to broadcast Nottingham Forest versus Leeds United in the Carabao Cup. The soaps will instead air on Wednesday, August 26, following an earlier schedule disruption caused by another Carabao Cup match. Further interruptions are expected because ITV will broadcast the Rugby World Cup, prompting some fans to criticize the broadcaster for prioritizing sport and to call for the soaps to be made available on ITVX.
