The last time I wrote on here about TV mag covers it was because I was wound up about EE constantly dominating the covers whereas Corrie and ED got the odd one.

Well I don't know if anyone else has noticed but for the first time in years the tide seems to have turned and Corrie has had loads of covers these last few months, particularly on What's On TV mag, and they even have the xmas cover which EE has had for about the last 13 years IIRC!!!!! And Emmerdale has had loads more covers too.

I know this is trivial really but I guess my point is, these magazines always had EE covers because they shifted more copies, so does this mean EE doesn't have the same pulling power it used to have where mag covers are concerned?

What do you guys think?

Yes I've noticed that.For the past couple of year with Corrie being rubbish, it hasn't really deserved the front cover. But now its improving, its good to see the front cover image is being shared around with the soaps, and not just EE constantly.

The Christmas Whats On TV has been EE for years. So its good to see a change, even if it features the irritating Miss Hell.

I think it goes by momentum and current storylines predominantly, EE is IMO the biggest cash cow and beneficiary of the media's clear favouritism towards it, CS is dubbed the nation's favourite and is ITV merchant/darling. Emmerdale I feel no matter how well it performs will never get the same reaction from the media as the other two, so I delight in the rare times it's front page ironically it was in one of the mags the other day with Emma and Moira on the front.

Lol😂 yes and infact Michelle has been on a lot of WOT covers now, it's taken years for that to happen but they've obviously now realised she must sell copies!

It's true what Danny says though, Emmerdale just mustn't have the same pull, although it seems Charity and Cain must be a popular cover choice for WOT . I'm sure others would be if they gave them a try though!

What's good is that xmas TV Choice and What's On TV both had Corrie covers but different characters , whereas in the past they used to have the same EE characters on both covers, mainly Kat & Alfie!

Omg I swear they were on the xmas cover about 3 or 4 years on the trot😵😵!!
