Football World Cup. Coverage is shared by ITV and BBC. Even if that day's game is shown on BBC there's little point trying to show BTCC coverage on ITV as most of your target audience will be watching the footie.
STCC/BTCC/etc don't have to wait until ETCC dates are set, it should be the other way around. I doubt there's a single team who have ETCC as their primary goal, all will be looking at their own national series first and fitting in ETCC if/when possible. Despite your earlier comment none of the big national series should be considered 'lower' that the ETCC, it's the other way around. STCC for example does not need schedule around ETCC in the hope of picking up a few extra entries, however the reverse is true of the ETCC.
So given that the various national series will always do what is in their own interest and set their dates first regardless of what anyone else is doing, the ETCC has no option but to try to schedule around everyone else, hence my original question. Pick 4 dates at random for 2011 if you want but don't expect anyone else to take any notice.
