So you said.

But many channels do well at times


BBC1 show Repeats
in the Evening,
so no it is not the most watched channel.


And this thread is about ITV1

THE saga of Coronation Street’s possible move to Salford is nearing a conclusion.

At 7am today ITV announced it intended to axe 600 jobs and cut programme budgets.

And at 7.30am I took part in a long conference call with executive chairman Michael Grade and other ITV bosses.

As luck would have it, I was the first in line called to ask a question.

So I asked for the current thinking on the possible move of ITV Granada – including Corrie – from Manchester and the latest timescale for a decision.

Michael handed the question over to ITV chief operating officer John Cresswell.

In essence, it looks like – barring a change of heart or last minute hitch – Corrie will be moving.

Described in Mr Cresswell's answer as "the most valuable programme on British television".

ITV won’t be drawn on a timetable for their now long overdue decision.

But there is speculation we may finally learn either way in July.

Although full details of the job cuts have yet to be revealed, it appears Manchester will escape the worst of the axe.

With Countdown moving to Manchester from Leeds, where at least 150 jobs are to go.

And then on to Salford?

As discussed in this blog last month, it looks terminal for both Heartbeat and The Royal.

With the closure of ITV’s main studio site in Leeds, leaving just a few smaller units open.

Speculation that Emmerdale might also move to Manchester was always nonsense.

But aside from regional news, it’s all that’s left across the Pennines.

I also monitored an hour-long ITV webcast to investors this morning, again featuring Michael Grade and his team.

Not being a business journalist, I always find these financial presentations a little cold for my liking.

Especially when phrases like “reduced headcount” are used.

We must never forget that these are real people, with families, mortgages and fears for the future.

Not just items on a balance sheet.

People who may have given a large part of their life to ITV.

Some of whom were in tears this morning.

She is going to star in an upcoming episode of Doctors, but apparently Corrie producers are having her join as someones sister...can you guess whose?

[Nicky.]

Becky/Eileen/Kirkies ex..

[Nicky.]

Yeyeyeyeye!
I is right

[Scarlett.]

She will be possibly be playing Becky's sister....as she is Kathrine Kelly's sister in real life

One of Coronation Street's romeos could be killed off in an emotional plot twist later this year.

Characters reportedly in the frame to be bumped off include Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne), Ken Barlow (Bill Roache), Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), Colin Grimshaw (Edward De Souza) and Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas).

A Corrie source told the Daily Star: "The death of one of the show's Lotharios will send shockwaves through Weatherfield and have repercussions for a long time to come.

"There are going to be quite a few women who will be devastated by the loss but fans are going to have to wait and see who it is."

They added: "Soap always has a period where it goes a little quiet but Coronation Street is steaming into fifth gear with some amazing stories."

Peter Barlow is rumoured to be about to embark on a romance with Michelle Connor (Kym Ryder), while his father Ken is currently wooing theatrical barge owner Martha Fraser (Stephanie Beacham).

Dev, meanwhile, continues to enjoy the company of Tara (Ayesha Dharker) and is about to open an art gallery for her, and ladies' man Colin persists in vying for the attentions of Kabin owner Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox).

Brickie Jason, meanwhile, will reportedly become involved with two of the Street's regular female characters, with one having surprising family connection.

"Forget hot whispers, this one is really happening, Karen and Steve will be reunited...only not in the street. After the success of last years Corrie spin off DVD Out of Africa, another is planned - this time with our fave corrie lovers, Karen and Stewve. Whether Becky will be in it too is still secret, but what would be the point of Karen and Steve if it didn't end in Karen and Becky in the mother of all catfights?"

I found this on the Digi Spy forums, apparently its from soaplife
