Do many Americans or Canadians watch Coronation Street and if so how far back are you from the UK?

Question

Some people are saying they dont get it in the USA but I know that they do get it as I watched it the last time I was there.

Answer 1

I`m in Canada and Corrie has been my favourite show for decades. We are about 6 months behind the UK but I subscribed to the ITV Internet newsletter so that I get to know what`s going to happen before it happens here. Unfortunately CBC has stopped airing Emmerdale for some reason, I was really starting to get into it as
well. P.S. We are at Mike`s funeral this week.

Answer 2

I am not exactly sure how many of us Canadians watch Coronation Street,but I for one follow it regularly.It is broad cast every Sunday morning on cbc {Canadian Broad Cast Corporation} and if i am not mistaken we are approximately 5 or 6 months behind.And for the record,yes, we do comprehend the story line{for the CHAP with the second answer} It has been in syndication for some 30 years now.
