why is corrie on late tonight

The reason Coronation Street ("Corrie") is on late tonight, Friday, August 29, 2025, is due to a recent schedule change. Normally airing Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8pm, the show's schedule has been adjusted because of live sport broadcasts, such as football matches. Tonight's episode is airing later as part of this reshuffling, following an earlier change midweek prompted by the EFL coverage. This means episodes sometimes air on different days or times than usual to accommodate sports programming. Tonight's episode continues the storyline with Carl Webster's new romantic developments and other characters' dramatic events.
