Reduce the revenue per game and have each team have the same number of home and away tv games.

It really doesn't matter whether a TV game is home or away. The TV revenue is split 50/50 and the attendance modifier for future games is the same.

Except that you are more likely to lose an away game, and your fans might not show up for the following games.

OTOH, there are 24 televised games in each league (16 teams X 3 games / 2 teams-per-game). With a 22 round-season, there must be two rounds where there is a televised double-header. Since all the games are played at the same time, the TV contract is probably reduced some (on a per game basis). Going to 4 games might really oversaturate the market and hurt game attendance. Would even ESBBN bid on a contract for so many games?

From the rules

"Additionally, three of the games during the season will also be classified as televised games. These games earn more revenue than other matches and have a higher impact on your fan base than normal games. Win big or lose a nail-biter on the road on TV and everybody wants your star player's jersey. Lose big and be prepared to look at even more empty seats."

you are telling me it as easy to win on the road and that it has no impact?

I lost a tv game by 20 points but nothing happened, I always have a sellout...

No. I'm telling you that the benefits are the same home or away.

EDIT: Just looked at my stats and I'm 7-2 on the road this year and 1-4 at home! So I guess for me it is...
