Coronation Street and Emmerdale to cut number of weekly episodes

Coronation Street and Emmerdale will both reduce their weekly output in a permanent scheduling change next year.

ITV has announced the introduction of a new "soap power hour" which will come into effect in 2026.

The soap shake-up will see Emmerdale air 30-minute episodes at 8pm every weekday from Monday to Friday.

Coronation Street will follow for 30 minutes at 8.30pm, also airing from Monday to Friday.
