Coronation Street to air at 9pm tonight due to Euros schedule mayhem

In a shake up to television schedules, Coronation Street is on at the later time of 9pm tonight (Monday, July 1). The soap usually airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and ITVX.

However, it will air an hour later tonight. This is due to the ongoing coverage of the Euros, which has created schedule mayhem for Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale.
