Emmerdale fans furious at new ITV schedule
EMMERDALE fans are up in arms over ITV's new schedule shake-up that's seen the soap pushed back by 30 minutes.
The popular rural drama has filled the 7pm slot for years, leading into Coronation Street at 7.30pm.
But last week ITV began airing an extended hour-long News programme at 6.30pm, pushing Emmerdale back to 7.30pm and Corrie to 8pm.
As a result the BBC has moved EastEnders to a daily 7.30pm slot creating an almighty soap clash.
One Emmerdale viewer wrote on Twitter: "i hate this new soap schedule with emmerdale and eastenders being on at the same time."
A second posted: "Really do not like the new ITV schedule! @emmerdale."
A third said: "Lets be honest @itv have RUINED the evening schedule. Completely ripped it apart. Emmerdale will lose viewers. #itvnews."

Their relationship continues to ruffle some feathers in Coronation Street and Leanne Battersby makes her disapproval known.
After her spiking horror, Amy (played by Elle Mulvaney) remains determined to get her boyfriend Jacob (Jack James Ryan) accepted by her family.

However, Leanne (Jane Danson) is horrified to spot the happy couple and reminds them that Jacob almost destroyed her family by grooming her adoptive son Simon (Alex Bain) into criminal activity.
