Coronation Street fans will be disappointed to see that the show has been axed from the ITV schedule tonight (January 9). This is the second time in just three days that the soap has not aired in its usual slot.

Coronation Street is usually aired on ITV on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The soap has been removed from its usual Monday slot to make way for ITV coverage of the FA Cup third round tie between Oxford United and Arsenal.
