Coronation Street and Emmerdale fans may be puzzled by the scheduling changes this week, as the World Cup continues to disrupt regular ITV programming. The football tournament, which started on June 11, will air on ITV until July 19, causing numerous adjustments to the soap lineup. This comes shortly after both shows adopted a new pattern of half-hour nightly episodes, replacing the previous three hour-long episodes for Corrie and a weekly hour-long Emmerdale.
