From January 1990 all other regions followed the Central and Anglia schedule in the familiar Tuesday and Thursday 19:00 slot. Scottish Television used the 19:00 slot to broadcast daily regional programmes, including Take the High Road resulting in Emmerdale moving to 17:10 from 7 September 1993 until 18 December 1997 when the show went back to the 19:00 slot on 6 January 1998.
