Leeds have challenged at the top table in the Sky TV era. None of the others you mention have except for Newcastle who get plenty of media attention and also only spent 1 season out of the PL and did what was expected and bounced back straight away.

Leeds also have a bitter rivalry with Manchester United the biggest club in the country.
Villa and Leeds have had really good attendance numbers at their games in the Championship too. Way more than Forest, City et al. Isn't it the case that Leeds' average attendances in recent seasons has been greater than Cardiff City Stadium could accommodate?
