Coronation Street is reportedly losing one thousand viewers every week - because they are dying.
New figures have revealed that a third of the ITV soap's audience are over 65, meaning they are 165 times more likely to die than anyone else, reports The Sun.
Taking these statistics into account, it means that at least 50,000 Corrie fans are dying each year.
A TV insider told the paper: "Corrie is a massive hit among Britain's older generation, many of whom have watched it since it began nearly 50 years ago.
"Interestingly, the figures show half of its viewers are over 55 as well, so it just goes to show hold old the audience is."
WOW, lol.

When you compare it to something like Hollyoaks which the Majority off viewers are teens i guess it would make a huge difference

I suppose, but it doesnt really say much about the programme, if 1,000 Hollyoaks viewers died a day it'd only take 100 days for the whole audience to be dead :laugh:

Doesn't most people who watch soaps die anyway (Humans die. Fact)
So it won't be axed for another 120 years?! :sleep:
They ought to do a mass cull of coffin dodgers if that is the new life expectancy :joker:

Wow completely random survey they did there!

Well, because there is this little concept called advertising. And demographics. It's quiet important in television.

It was just an age survey. And old people die. Nothing strange about age surveys. Advertising requires them. Thats why you dont see hotwheels and hello kitty advertised during the antiques roadshow.
