Messed Up Soap Times

What are TV channels doing to viewers changing the Soap times?  Coronation Street is on Monday to Friday this week (w/c 7th April) with Monday - Thursday episodes being screened at the later time of 9pm due to the fact Britain's Got Talent finals are going on.  Eastenders shifted their normal 8pm slot to 7:30 Bank Holiday Monday and the omnibus edition is shown after midnight on a Friday night instead of Sunday afternoon.  This is likely to be the case until after the Olympics finishes later on in the year.  Ridiculous.  Over on Channel 4, the Hollyoaks omnibus has shifted to E4 on Sundays at the crack of dawn in the morning.  As this soap has a huge teen following its pretty stupid to show Hollyoaks so early when most teens will be sleeping off a hard Saturday night.  The only soap that seems to be unaffected in Emmerdale, for now at least.
