I saw a new headline in my inbox tonight regarding the CBC double episode "catch up" that we're seeing. The article is dated about a month ago but it's still relevant. People have been asking how long CBC is going to continue to catch up and how much will they catch up?
This article states that CBC will play catch up until they're pretty much up to date. We don't know if we'll be 100% caught up as the CBC might keep it about a week or so behind the ITV episodes in case of a technical glitch. Fair enough! There's also mention of not suspending Corrie anymore during sporting events, though they may play with the schedule and air it at a different time. “Even if it doesn’t play in its normal timeslot we’ll put it in another timeslot,”
Also fair enough. Most people have vcrs or dvrs these days and CBC also carries it online. They estimate we should be caught up by September. CBC posts the week's episodes on Mondays following the airing of the Sunday omnibus in all regions so you can always catch it there as well. Kudos to CBC for this! An hour a day for the next 8 or 9 months is a lot do keep up with but it's worth it!

Correction: the omnibus is viewable late sunday mornings online, not on mondays.
Thanks. I was taking the info from the news article which said "next day".
How weird is their math? We will be caught up in 9 months...yet we are only 7 months behind? It seems at this rate we would be caught up by the middle of March, not September.
Media articles always seem to play fast and loose. We were about 10 months behind when we started the catch up in September. You might think we'd be caught up by June or July but there are always extra episodes in the UK as well that add on to that. I reckon by mid summer or early August we will be caught up as much as we're going to be.
