The Issue

Coronation Street, cherished by many, is more than just a television show. It's part of our culture, a familiarity that signifies home for its viewers. For years, we've followed the lives of the characters, shared their highs and lows, and treated them almost as part of our own extended family. The current schedule showcases Coronation Street on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for an hour, and it has a dedicated audience who plan their time around its airing.

Yet, there are concerning murmurings about reducing Coronation Street's airtime, replacing it with substitute programming. This is not only disappointing but disrespectful to the loyal audience who have watched and supported the soap opera for years. Some viewers may have decreased recently due to the increase in violent content and scriptwriting issues, but this is a fixable problem and not a reason to undercut the show's airtime. Instead, it is an opportunity to revisit and re-embrace what made Coronation Street popular — its compelling and relatable storylines.

We shouldn't punish the dedicated audience by diminishing the hour-long slots on their beloved days. This soap opera is a household staple, and it doesn't deserve to be scaled back. The audience implores the network to not only maintain the existing time slots but also consider revisiting the heart of Coronation Street, reducing violent content, and improving the employability of scriptwriters who can bring back the charm of the old days.

This is a crucial moment for the future of Coronation Street, and your signature could make all the difference. Please show your support for this iconic show and sign this petition today. and share it Far@Wide ,it is nearing now at the end off 2025 and already the soap time has been reduced from an hour to half an hour, 

Another TV screening has been put in its place ,We need to speak out about this and not allow itv to do this to Coronation Sts ,Dedicated viewers.
