Coronation Street fans in Thailand and Taiwan can finally start watching Corrie on TV there as ITV has announced plans to increase its Asian distribution.
From June, Granada TV programmes will be distributed via cable TV systems in Thailand due to a deal with Thai Cable Holdings, while in Taiwan they will become part of Chung Hwa Telecom's TITV package, which will be available on the IPTV platform from July.
Anyway, that's all well and good but it's got me thinking. Which country is our farthest flung fan watching Corrie in? Are you somewhere far away and unusual?

Just wondering if the good folks at ITV realize that there is another very large country that still doesn't broadcast Corrie. You may have heard of it. Used to be a bunch of English colonies, until that Tea Party thing (you know, the real one, in Boston), blah blah blah, but through it all, we've stayed pretty good friends. We've gave you Oprah and Bay Watch. Whatta ya say, ITV?
AMEN to the above comment! We have to jump through hoops to get Corrie here and it is only in fits and starts.
There are any number of cable channels that ITV could get involved with.
I reckon New Zealand would have to be the farthest flung country!! No matter which way around the world you take to get here we are on exactly the other side and "down under". Oh and I think we are also the most behind too - currently screening Dec 08!! Come on TVNZ!!
I'm in the USA too although I'm originally from Canada which is where I became a Corrie fanatic. I miss Corrie with a passion and would pay ITV anything they asked if they would get me my Corrie!!!
I'm in Scotland?
I'm in Qatar and I watch it through the satellite provider, 'showtime'. I'm originally from England though.
Louise you are almost as far behind with Corrie as I am with Shortland Street!! I live in Northern Ireland and watch Shorty on Irish channel RTE. UK was showing it again for a while on Living TV but it was soon axed when SKY took over the channel! Boo! But its still on RTE Hooray!!
