Starting Tuesday 11 March, fans of regular daytime TV shows will notice a big change to their usual schedules. In order to make room for the Cheltenham Races, several fan favorites will either be cut short or completely replaced for the week. The coverage of the races will run through until Friday, drawing in millions of viewers, which is why ITV has had to make room for it.
Coverage of the Cheltenham Races will kick off every day from 12.45pm, after a 30-minute slot for ITV News, which has also been moved up in the schedule. This means that This Morning will be cut by 15 minutes, while Loose Women will be entirely off air for the week. The races will continue on ITV until around 5pm, when The Chase will air as usual, reported the Sun.
