The Flames and Oilers have 10-year deals with Sportsnet that goes through 2019-2020. The risk in splitting the region is Rogers', not ours.
Any hit the Flames/Oilers take in merchandising will be offset by gains made in sales of Winnipeg gear - merchandising revenues are split evenly across the league, which Francis conveniently ignores.
So really, Francis is just making wild assumptions to troll for a reaction, and you fell for it.

I 100% agree that Francis is an idiot but fail to see how having more games pushed to Sportsnet Flames is a good thing for the Flames or its fans.
