Fair City has been dropped from the schedule as the second part of the Rose of Tralee Festival airs on RTÉ One.
The annual TV event begins at 8pm and will take a break for The Nine O’Clock News.
It will then resume at 9.35pm, with hosts Dáithí O’Sé and Kathryn Thomas expected to announce the winner at around 11.30pm.
The scheduling change for Fair City is what is known as a “drop date”.
These changes normally come into force when there big events on TV such as important sporting fixtures, the Eurovision Song Contest, Christmas and other bank holidays throughout the year.
The last “drop date” was earlier this summer for the Eurovision Semi-Final.
The Rose of Tralee airs on RTÉ One tonight, but there is plenty of other good shows on TV to replace your Fair City fix.
Saving Lives at Sea begins at 8.10pm on RTÉ 2, while the brand new series of Cooking With The Stars continues at 8pm on Virgin Media One.
Coverage of the play-off round first-leg match of this year’s UEFA Champions League kicks off at 7.50pm on Virgin Media Two as Robbie Keane’s Ferencváros take on Qarabag at 8pm.
Fair City is back on our TV screens on Thursday.
Tommy tries to stay patient with an unenthusiastic Lorcan Jr when he shows up late for his first day on the job, Zoe blames Melanie for Hugh’s relapse and Gwen confronts Fergal over their living situation.
