Coronation Street is to be screened non-stop on a new 24/7 Live Feed from late 2017, ITV has announced.

The broadcaster's director of television Kevin Lygo said the idea of a Live Feed for the flagship soap had been one of the first things he had "wanted to explore" when he took up the role in February.

He said the move would be "the next exciting chapter in Corrie's story".

It will see ITV launch a new digital channel, ITV Corrie, which will be home to the Weatherfield soap's live feed, with choice highlights being broadcast on the independent broadcaster's main ITV channel seven nights a week.

The show currently broadcasts five weekly episodes on ITV but the move to 24/7 production will see the biggest changes in Coronation Street's 56 year history, an ITV spokeswoman said.

She added that the plan would create employment opportunities and add "a new and exciting dimension" to filming the soap.

Created in 1960, Coronation Street has gone on to be one of the UK's most successful ever programmes.

The production moved to its present location in 2013, after Granada Studios in Manchester, where it had been filmed, was sold for redevelopment.

Imagine watching current Corrie 24/7... Sounds like a 21st century version of torture.

No but I'd be quite happy for this to happen with Emmerdale.

You kind of could before Kate Oates banned the webcams.
Just the village, not the studio stuff.

I saw this too KK and couldn't believe it, they've lost the plot!

"ITV Corrie launches next year and there will be up to 30 simultaneous streams of different interior & exterior locations in and around the Street. More details in due course"

In actual fact, it sounds excting

Really looking forwards to this. Will be able to watch Anthony Cotton's acting masterclass from 17 different angles.

The Fiz shower scenes will be a real treat.

I'm also looking forward to playing Where's Chesney?, watching the gym's belly dancing class and spying on Rita the functioning alcoholic.

This will coincide with the return of Mrs. Fanshaw. Right? It won't work otherwise.

Apparently only 18 of the 30 cameras will be free, so I'm guessing you have to pay for the bedroom & bathroom ones

Yes, It was confirmed by Corrie Press that It will coincide with MRS FANSHAW WEEK, but could become more permanent.

Been asked for a few times but not forthcoming. Maybe we should just ignore.

I believe a technical bug caused the link to disappear, but KK has spent all night searching through his history (such a dark place) to find it, just bear with

It's a bit rich of you to say that when you couldn't provide a link to your comment about Jason's exit only being temporary

Oh never mind It happens and I very much doubt KK would have made it up.

Definitely not, Kk is like a fountain of Corrie spoilers, no one knows the shows past (and future!) better than him. KK is currently predicting Corrie's Christmas 2017 stories (not that it's hard to do with the rate ITV release spoilers!)
