With those numbers, it seems that they are probably double dipping on Red Deer and including it in both markets.

The Flames media market would include everything from Red Deer south. The Calgary metro area is 1.2 million, which includes Airdrie and Cochrane, but not Okotoks, High River, or Strathmore. There's about 1.3 million people who live within about an hour's drive of the Saddledome. Then, you add in Lethbridge, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Brooks and all the smaller communities in between, and 1.6 is certainly within range.
