Coronation Street in New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the countries where Coro is regularly broadcast. There was a huge outcry when the State-owned channel proposed to stop broadcasting it. Currently it get an hour (including commercial breaks and a weather forecast) every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 pm. There have been catch-up periods when it screened on Wednesdays too.

Tracy Barlow started her prison sentence on 20 May 2008, as far as New Zealanders are concerned, but it was really in March 2007.

New Zealand is occasionally mentioned in the script. A handy place to send characters so that viewers don't expect to see them again, or to dredge up "long-lost" relatives without having to explain why they have not been mentioned before.
