This pole is flawed. First, I'm pretty positive no one outside of Toronto gives two-cents about the Raptors.
Few outside of Calgary give 2 cents about the Flames. Just saying.

For Viewership though you are correct, although rising fast

The increase in audiences is impressive. TSN's average for Raptors games is 346,000 -- up 137 per cent over last year. On TSN2, the team is averaging 180,000 -- more than triple last year's number.

Despite those increases, the Raptors are not quite in the big leagues. After all, you don't get double and triple-digit increases unless things were pretty bad to start with. That 346,000 average on TSN is dwarfed by Hockey Night In Canada. The CFL averages almost twice that Raptors high-water mark and the Toronto Blue Jays aren't far behind.
