Is Coronation Street on Television Tonight?
Coronation Street, the popular ITV soap opera, is not on television tonight. The Six Nations rugby match between France and Wales is being broadcast live on ITV1 and ITVX at 7:30pm, preempting the regularly scheduled episode. This scheduling change also impacts Emmerdale, which will air earlier at 7pm on Friday.
Why is Coronation Street Not on Tonight?
ITV has prioritized live coverage of the Six Nations championship, leading to the cancellation of tonight’s Coronation Street episode. The highly anticipated rugby match between France and Wales takes precedence in the primetime slot. Jill Douglas will present the action live from the Stade de France, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15pm.
When Will Coronation Street Return? Next Week’s Schedule:
Coronation Street will resume its regular broadcasting schedule next week with episodes airing at 8pm on:
- Monday, February 3rd
- Tuesday, February 4th
- Wednesday, February 5th
However, there will be no Coronation Street episode on Friday, February 7th. This is due to ITV’s coverage of the FA Cup football match between Manchester United and Leicester City.
Upcoming Drama on Coronation Street: Fire at Number Eight!
While tonight’s episode is cancelled, next week promises dramatic events in Weatherfield. According to the Radio Times, a fire will engulf Number Eight, the Platt’s residence.
