Coronation Street Fans Frustrated Over Rugby Disruption

0:00On March 6th, Coronation Street fans have a change of plans tonight, March 6th. The usual 8.30pm episode on ITV is off the schedule, bummed by the Six Nations Rugby Tournament. Ireland takes on Wales at Dublin's Aviva Stadium, with coverage starting at 7.20pm and kickoff at 8.10pm. Emerdale faces the same issue, pulled from its 8pm slot. That means no back-to-back soaps to wrap up the week. Jill Douglas hosts the Rugby broadcast, joined by analysts like Brian O'Driskel and Rory Best. Viewers are voicing frustration over the switch. Many call it unfair that sports keep disrupting regular shows, especially with long pre-game buildups. They suggest moving rugby to ITVX or a dedicated sports channel to keep soaps intact. This isn't the first time lately as similar changes have become common. This point out not everyone watches sports, leaving limited options during primetime. The good news is Coronation Street returns next week on its normal schedule.

1:02Expect episodes, Monday through Friday, all at 8.30pm, so you can catch up then without missing the weather field drama.
