Summarised from Lancashire Telegraph's report · Updated 19 Oct, 15:02 · Archive

ITV is broadcasting the Pride of Britain Awards on Thursday, displacing the usual Emmerdale and Coronation Street time slots.

ITV is broadcasting the annual Pride of Britain Awards ceremony on Thursday, October 22 from 8pm, disrupting the usual television schedules for its flagship soaps Emmerdale and Coronation Street. The awards show will run until approximately 10.05pm, crossing over both soaps' regular broadcast slots.

While the schedule change means viewers will miss the Thursday editions this week, ITV has ensured soap fans will still receive their usual weekly episodes. Emmerdale and Coronation Street will return to their regular Sunday slots on 25 October, when they will air at 9pm and 9.30pm respectively, allowing viewers to watch five new 30-minute episodes from each show as normal.

Such schedule disruptions are not unusual for ITV, which regularly adjusts programming for major events including football matches and awards ceremonies.
