It will now be broadcast from E4 and will be uploaded to Youtube
Popular soap Hollyoaks will no longer be aired on Channel 4, it has been announced. The broadcaster has offered the soap on Channel 4 for 28 years, but it will now move permanently to E4.
Bosses have also said the show will be shown on YouTube in an effort to suit its younger demographic, The Mirror reports. Since 2005, first look episodes of Hollyoaks have aired on E4 straight after the Channel 4 episodes. However, bosses have decided to switch up the main channel's content with new shows, meaning that it will be the first time in three nearly decades that the soap will no longer air on C4. It comes after bosses first began streaming the soap on its All4 platform and with the news that episodes will also be uploaded onto YouTube, it signals a clear digital strategy for Hollyoaks.
Instead, the C4 soap will offer a first look online, with E4 airing an episode half an hour later. The new changes are due to come into effect on September 25 for its big stunt week, which will involve The Traitors' Maddy Smedley .
