List Of Emmerdale Producers
''Emmerdale'' (known as ''Emmerdale Farm'' until 1989) is a British soap opera first broadcast on ITV on 16 October 1972. The soap was initially headed by executive producer Peter Holmans, who gave ''Emmerdale Farm'' a reputation for being a "sleepy soap" where not much happened. Holmans and other early executive producers focused on rural life and the events of the Sugden family, but in the late 1980s, Keith Richardson and a new team of producers became responsible for revamping the soap. Richardson and his team saw ''Emmerdale Farm'' move to a later transmission time, more dramatic storylines and a title change to ''Emmerdale'', which resulted in the soap gaining viewers and becoming a major UK soap opera. In 2013, Kate Oates became the series producer of the soap and she expressed her aim to feature more of the countryside settings as seen in the earlier episodes, as well as add a balance to the soap's storylines rather than focus on a few dramatic storylines.

Soap Opera
A soap opera, or ''soap'' for short, is a typically long-running radio or television serial, frequently characterized by melodrama, ensemble casts, and sentimentality. The term "soap opera" originated from radio dramas originally being sponsored by soap manufacturers.Bowles, p. 118. The term was preceded by "horse opera", a derogatory term for low-budget Westerns. BBC Radio's ''The Archers'', first broadcast in 1950, is the world's longest-running radio soap opera. The longest-running current television soap is '' Coronation Street'', which was first broadcast on ITV in 1960, with the record for the longest running soap opera in history being held by '' Guiding Light'', which began on radio in 1937, transitioned to television in 1952, and ended in 2009.
