Bradford wants more TV time

Bradford - Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson declared victory over British broadcaster the BBC after his side completed another FA Cup giant-killing by eliminating Sunderland in the fifth round.

Victors over Chelsea in the previous round, Bradford beat Premier League Sunderland 2-0 on Sunday in a game that was not shown on domestic television due to the BBC's decision to screen Aston Villa's 2-1 win over Leicester City instead.

Responding to complaints from fans, BBC presenter Gary Lineker explained that the decision not to broadcast Bradford's game had been taken before Sunderland had come through a fourth-round replay against Fulham.
