Leeds officials have been told to deny access to Sky Sports' production staff ahead of tonight's game with Derby County.
The match is due to be televised by Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has given staff orders to bar SKy from the stadium.
And Football League CEO Harvey, who worked for Leeds between 2004 and 2013, was on site to discuss the situation at the club.
The match is still expected to go ahead.
Cellino's stance is in response to the number of times his side have been shown on Sky Sports this season, resulting in a series of kick-off and date changes.
Leeds have been shown live on Sky Sports nine times already this season and had their Boxing Day draw at Nottingham Forest moved to Sunday 27 December to cater for TV audiences.
Cellino, currently in Miami, will not attend tonight's game as Leeds look to continue their good form over the Christmas period.
Manager Steve Evans has overseen a run of five games without defeat - Leeds's best form since recording six draws in seven outings at the start of the season.
