CORONATION STREET X 2 = CBC, THIS FALL

The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) announced recently that they will be eliminating Wheel of Fortune from this Fall's week-day evening schedule and replacing it with another episode of Coronation Street. This will mean an hour of the Brit soap... 6:30pm and then again at 7:00.

Good news for Canadian (and some U.S.) "Corrie" fans. From what I understand, as it stands right now there is about an eight month delay in seeing the "current" episodes here in Canada.

Good, when yet another character gets 'the chop', we can see it sooner! (Forgetting, for a moment, the power of the Internet to close the gap.)

"Did you hear that Morrie Smith got murdered?"

"What, again?! I thought he was murdered before."

"No, no... let me explain...."
