ITV is lining up an extra half hour of its Weatherfield drama at 8pm on Monday 23 June, which will go up against the established edition of the BBC One soap which is usually in the same slot.

Isn't it a rule where Coronation Street and Eastenders cannot clash. If so, it is broken on the Monday 23rd June as the schedule is:

7:30 Coronation Street (1hour)
8:00 Eastenders (1 hour)

As ITV have both football matches that day, BBC could avoid clashing and go for this schedule:

7pm Eastenders
7:30 Coronation Street
8:30 Eastenders

It's only a rule when it suits ITV. They could easily just show half an hour of Coronation St (as was their original schedule), and there wouldn't be any overlap.

EastEnders really needs to adjust its schedules for W/C 20th June.

Monday cannot be up against a head started Corrie. It will be thrashed. They should adjust Monday to a single episode at 8:30pm, fill the 8pm gap with Miranda or something.
Move the hour long episode to Tuesday from 7:30-8:30. World Cup coverage does not need to start until 8:30 if kick-off is not until 9pm.

They've made mistakes this week as well. They should've avoided the clash and early Friday episode with an hour long on Tuesday at 8pm. Moved Holby City to Wednesday at 9pm. Then today another hour long EE at 7:30 followed by Masterchef at 8:30-10. Then next Wednesday's out of slot 7pm episode would not have to be shown either. Seriously, it's as if these schedulers want EE's ratings destroyed in silly timeslots.

With the amount of clashes between ITV soaps and Eastenders, they would be better of with hour long episodes and avoiding clashing as BOTH soaps will lose viewers. Corrie may start earlier than EE but there are 15 minutes of ads to skip.

The schedules are confirmed.

It's certainly far from ideal, but options are limited when ITV makes late moves on slots occupied by EastEnders.

The football coverage starts at 8pm to provide time for hIghlights of England's 5pm kick-off.

The trouble is the more EastEnders swaps slots because of being chased around by ITV's scheduler, the more long term damage is done to ratings, when people give up trying to find it in the schedules. That's what happened to Brookside: it didn't end because it was shit (although it was shit), it ended because people couldn't be bothered following it around the schedules.

I'm beginning to think it might be worth the BBC moving EastEnders permanently to 7pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Emmerdale would die on its backside if it had to start at the same time as EastEnders four days a week, plus if any episodes of EastEnders were displaced by Comic Relief or Children in Need etc, the episodes could be added to the Monday or Friday editions the following week, to run it into Coronation St, and give ITV a taste of their own medicine.

The downside would be having The One Show at 7.30pm, but a weekday block of
5.15 Pointless
6.00 News
6.30 Regional News
7.00 EastEnders (four days a week)

would make BBC One incredibly strong, putting ITV on the back foot all evening. Nobble ITV at 7pm, and you've gone a good way towards nobbling it for the whole night.

There will be two evening schedules both days on Monday and Tuesday for BBC One and ITV1 that week because of the second round of the World Cup and the schedulers not knowing which games they'll be showing until a few days before.

In today's schedule update, that episode is at 8.30pm on either Monday or Tuesday, depending on which night of the two BBC One shows a football match.
