The prime terrestrial TV slot in my opinion has to 18,30 on a Sunday when there is nothing worth watching and other S/L live games have finished.
My main concern is if one or two channels pick up Championship or League 1 matches many of the stadiums look poor on TV and it doesnt give the right image to new viewers who know little about the game.
As an example i watched London v York in an earlier round of the C/C and it looked like it was played at a park pitch.
Contrast that to Yorks new stadium and the game looks totally different.

Agree on the Championship and League1 games, I actually think the 'Rugby League Raw' style coverage of a load of honest blokes swearing and playing in a clapped out stadium does more harm than good, but the problem will be that the clubs won't want the bigger games on TV as it'll hit their gate. Last time SKY showed the Championship on Thursday nights they got loads of moaning.
