Despite some concerns that it meant the soap was in trouble, coupled with lots of cast exits, it was then revealed that actually it was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2025\/04\/07\/watching-emmerdale-itvx-itv-news-for-you\/\">great move by ITV<\/a> as stats confirmed viewing was way up.<\/p>\n<p>The soaps then announced a new schedule. The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2025\/02\/04\/itv-announces-new-emmerdale-schedule-for-2026\/\"> soap \u2018power hour\u2019<\/a> started from January 2026. It saw Emmerdale continue to air five nights a week with new episodes still dropping on ITVX at 7am every morning. However it moved to a new time of 8pm, instead of the old 7.30pm slot.<\/p>\n<p>Coronation Street has gone from airing Monday, Wednesday and Friday for an hour, to daily half-hour episodes at 8.30pm. Emmerdale\u2019s Thursday double bill has also been cut to half an hour to make way for the additional episodes of Coronation Street.<\/p><section class=\"widget block-30 widget_block mb-4\"><div
