Not that that disproves the argument, as likewise, the American regional stations extend beyond just the local metro in most cases.
Agreed - that occurred to me later. I don't know how far the US regional stations extend. For example, are DAL games broadcast throughout Texas?

Fox Sports Southwest (stylized as FS SOUTHWEST) is a regional sports network that operates in all or parts of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arkansas.

I don't know how many households in that area would have FS SW. I don't know if Stars games would be available in all those markets.

What % of Flames viewers would be in metro Calgary?
