Buy Centre Ice and watch any other broadcast. This isn't a Flames thing. This is a Rogers thing, and it is 100% on their own cheapassery.

I'm not reaching at all, because I have no desire for a particular outcome. I was simply asking a question, kind of funny that it's somehow offended some people.
I asked the question because some suggested Rogers broadcast on regional games for the leafs and the Nucks were not subject to the same issues. There are lots of reasons that could be.
-Rogers is cheap on all their regional broadcasts
-Rogers is cheaper on broadcasts for the Flames because they drive less revenues than others so they invest less
-the Flames pay less for their rights so Rogers invests less
-etc
The lis of possibilities goes on. Was looking for someone who actually has knowledge of the industry to help me understand the factors that go into these types of things and tell me whether some of the factors that run through my head are legit or not. If you state it's the same on all other Rogers casts via center ice, evidence point that suggests the teams negotiations are part of it.
