Canada Canada , a Commonwealth of Nations country in northern North America , of about 35 million people , is occasionally mentioned in the script of " Coronation Street " . It ' s a handy place to send characters so that viewers don ' t expect to see them again , or to dredge up " long - lost " relatives without having to explain why they have not been mentioned before . It has also produced the occasional actor or other production worker . " Coronation Street " began airing in Canada in the late 1960s in Ottawa and then on CBC when the first 260 episodes were sold to that company in April 1966 . There were some episodes which ran in the 1970s on CTV , most repeats from the 1960s . The 2002 edition of the " Guinness Book of Records " recognises the 1 , 144 episodes sold to CBC - owned Saskatoon , Saskatchewan , TV station CBKST by Granada TV on 31st May 1971 to be the largest number of TV shows ever purchased in one transaction . CBC was extremely far behind the UK during the late 1970s and much of the 1980s . As a result , numerous episodes from 1987 - 1988 were skipped in the early 1990s broadcasts of " Coronation Street " in Canada in an attempt to catch up the UK . This lead to wide protesting . In 2001 , several 1997 and 1998 episodes ( including some from the Deirdre Rachid prison storyline ) were again skipped for similar reasoning . Repeats of episodes from 1989 to 1995 , were shown on WTN in Canada during the late 1990s . Canada ran a number of 1980s episodes in 2006 before the network became Bold . It now runs on CBC , one week behind the UK .
