Why has the schedule changed this week?

The reason Emmerdale is on for an hour tonight is because the Live FA Cup Football is on tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 1).

Coverage is on ITV from 6.45pm until 9.35pm. It’s Peterborough United v Manchester City with kick-off starting at 7.15pm.

From Monday, March 7 ITV’s schedule will be changing permanently.

The evening news programme will be extended to an hour, airing from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, with ITV confirming more focus on reporting outside of London.
