I beg to differ, I believe that 'Coronation St.' was an the USA cable
network.  It was dropped as it wasn't getting viewers.

It's 47 minutes because the commercials are missing.  If I were to tape
it here and leave out the commercials, it will be 47 minutes here as well.

No corrections, just additional data.
