Harveys the Furniture Store are ending their sponsorship of Coronation Street after five years. Five years? Has it really been that long, it's flown over! Anyway, this means that Corrie are now looking for a new sponsor to annoy us with their ads before, during and after our favourite soap.
Stephen Campbell, managing director at furniture retailer Harveys, said: "Over the last five years, 'Coronation Street' has been a fantastic alignment for us, but we feel the time has come to look for something new. However, having contemplated long and hard about continuing with 'Coronation Street', we felt it would be a good time to do something different and we are currently considering a number of options."
Harveys' sponsorship will end in January 2013.
