how many days a week is coronation street on
Coronation Street The show airs six times a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 7:30–8 pm and 8:30–9 pm. Since 2017, ten classic episodes of the programme from 1986 onwards air each week on ITV3.[3] The programme was conceived in 1960 by scriptwriter Tony Warren at Granada Television in Manchester.[4] Warren's initial kitchen sink drama proposal was rejected by the station's founder Sidney Bernstein, but he was persuaded by producer Harry Elton to produce the programme for 13 pilot episodes. Within six months of the show's first broadcast, it had become the most-watched programme on British television, and is a significant part of the British culture.[5] The show has been one of the most lucrative programmes on British commercial television, underpinning the success of Granada Television and ITV.
