I'm looking to compile a list of every single Town match ever to be shown live on telly. This information doesn't appear to be readily available anywhere on the web so I'm attempting to create it myself with your assistance.
All findings will be edited into this post to form a definitive list.

Don't think the Bontcho overhead kick was on TV. The Sheff Wed game, was that in the Coca-Cola Cup? Not sure that was live, might have been highlights.
I do recall a drab 0-0 with Leeds from that season-ish having been live one Sunday afternoon, listened to it on a rainy day in Hull. Great days.
The Blackburn Bontcho overhead game definitely wasn't alive on TV. It was a Saturday afternoon 3pm kick-off.

I've been looking it up and found this:
So, what do we conclude from this? What is this clip taken from for starters? It's obviously something that's been put together years down the line (ie. look at the club badge)
Jon Champion never worked for Sky did he? Even then it doesn't necessarily offer an answer as to who broadcasted the game or indeed if it was live.
PS. The sound doesn't take long to go out of sync and do all kinds of weird stuff towards the end.
Ipswich 4 Leeds 2 was not on TV live. Featured game on Match of the Day on a Saturday night though.

Yes, pretty sure that was the case, although having had a look around the web and TWTD's archive can't find anything to back that up. Think it would have been difficult for people to watch it as so few pubs etc had the ITV box, which was why it all went awry, of course. There were reports of some matches being watched by more people actually at the game than on TV.
The Newcastle game was definitely on TV as I remember watching it. We were abysmal. Darren Bent scored his first ever goal for us.

Oops thats the one I meant
Came just 4 months after we beat them 6-0 in the previous season.
edited - Has anyone mentioned the 1998/99 season opener against Grimsby (Steve M mentioned it)

Good job you said cos I missed it myself.
I have just two questions folks:
1) Can someone please confirm which game v Sheff Wed was broadcast live in 94/95? Home or away? 2) Is it right that the final home game against Cardiff was shown live in 03/04? Finished 1-1.
Thanks.

I remember that Leicester game vividly as I watched it with my best mate who is a Leicester fan.
We went 3-0 up then they pegged us back to 3-2 before Marshall made it safe. I think we were both screaming at the TV in the last 15 minutes and nearly came to blows when Warky missed the penalty and Leicester went up the other end and scored.
Struggling to remember a more mental televised game than that.
Soz this was not the clip I meant to post. Have seen a clip somewhere that shows all the match highlights. Will see if I can find it.
Wasn't the Newcastle game in 2009 on the BBC, we got humped 4 nil and it was just after the death of Sir Bobby so was of significance to both sides. Sadly we were awful.

The Grimsby game was a dire 0-0. Marco Holster made his debut and only ever start for Town.
I remember him being played through one-on-one and the way he handled it was similar to a regular Joe in the street - didn't have a clue what to do and shinned it a mile wide.
Richard Wright made a fantastic save from a penalty in the first minute. Grimsby were one of our bogey teams during those years. Apart from A hammering we gave them in the FA Cup when Bontcho scored a hat-trick I think we beat them once in about ten years.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far.
I have updated the list (see original post).
Please point out any errors or games that are missing.
They are all ordered by season but the games might not necessarily be in chronological order. I'll add in dates later down the line.
Cheers folks.
Impressive stuff. Some of the UEFA Cup games in 2002/03 were on TV, although I'm not sure which. Sartid away was, I think as it was mid-afternoon. Channel Five tended to show them.

Am I going mad, or wasn't Keane's debacle at Carrow Road screened on either the Beeb or Sky?
Not sure if it's already been mentioned but also the 1-1 against Leicester away in January 2010 was a late addition to Sky's programme - I think the game had been arranged for the Sunday because of Leicester Tigers, but then all the Sunday Premier League games got called off because of snow so Sky decided at short notice to screen ours.

I've been compiling a list over the last few weeks for a feature in my newspaper column and just waiting for a club archivist to come back to me to confirm games. I'll happily share that with you mate.

Was it? I recall the club screening it but didn't think it was on tv.
