Once again, it is a major sporting event that will keep Coronation Street and Emmerdale off air tonight. Why are Coronation Street and Emmerdale not on ITV tonight? Coronation Street and Emmerdale will be replaced tonight by the Guinness Six Nations match between France and Ireland at the Stade de France in Paris. Emmerdale now airs on ITV1 at 8pm, followed by Coronation Street at 8.30pm, Monday to Friday, with episodes still dropping each morning at 7pm on ITVX. Emmerdale and Coronation Street will return to their usual 8am and 8.30pm time slots on ITV1 on Friday (February 6).
