ITV schedules Carabao Cup match, disrupting Coronation Street and Emmerdale
Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 09:28 · Archive
ITV will air the Carabao Cup fourth round match between Liverpool and Chelsea on Wednesday evening, displacing the usual slots for Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
ITV is rescheduling its evening schedules next week to accommodate a football match and an awards ceremony.
The Carabao Cup's fourth round will see Liverpool play Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday 28 October. ITV coverage will begin at 7.30pm with kick-off at 8pm, running across the usual broadcast times for both Emmerdale and Coronation Street, which normally air at 8pm and 8.30pm respectively.
Tonight, 22 October, the Pride of Britain Awards will air on ITV1 from 8pm, celebrating extraordinary acts by the British public. This means neither Emmerdale nor Coronation Street will be broadcast tonight. The soaps will return on Sunday with Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8.30pm to compensate for the missed episodes.
It is not yet clear whether the soaps will receive replacement airings to make up for Wednesday's disruption caused by the football match.
Emmerdale and Coronation Street face regular scheduling changes due to major sporting events and special programming on ITV.
