ITV announced they will be cutting down their output of soap operas significantly.

But the biggest change may be that they will not premiere them in an evening time slot.

Instead they will all be dropped at 7am on the day of release.

This is an intersting move. As it moves people away from live programming.. and gives those that don’t use the BBC another reason to not need a licence, as watching ITVX on streaming is 100% licence fee free.

I think it’s a smart idea..I could imagine people watching these soaps on the commute to work.

But this is still less output, and a cut back for these long established shows.
