Waterloo road is on at a Thursday night at 8:00. It is on at this time as not many other TV shows are on a Thursday. If they were on a Saturday or Sunday more people would watch x-factor or Britians got talent so they wouldn't get as many views. One of thew reasons that it is on at 8:00 is that it is before the UK watershed which means there isn't as much drug,sex and violence in it.
