We should be on some time in March/April. I can imagine one of the last few games will be televised. We play Bolton and Forest at the end of the season both on Saturdays so there's a good chance they'll be televised as they could be the games we clinch something

We must have been television more times than any club in our league? Go to games instead of sitting in your armchair.

How am I wrong? Stop picking fights with members on the forum then crying to moderators when they have a go back. Wouldn't have had people like you in the forces.

Sky pick their games in blocks.

Kick off times are subject to change if Sky or BBC wish to show them.

It used to be the case that clubs had to be shown x amount of times a season - not sure if that is till the case or it's just the way it works up here.

Every big clash from the league should be on TV. Fact. To be honest i'm disappointed that BBC haven't broadcasted many, if any, Cardiff home games this season.

Still, it isn't really a case of balancing it out, or at least it shouldn't be. I don't care if Cardiff are shown on TV, as long as it's big games vs top 4-6 sides. That's fair. Then likewise for every top 4-6 clubs, and then below the play offs they get about 3-5 games a season.
