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

If you add up the communities within 25 miles of Calgary (as I did just yesterday for a Reddit thread) you get 1.43 million people. That is just Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Chestermere, Cochrane, Rockyview County and MD Foothills.
Lethbridge and Medicine Hat alone put you over 1.6 million.
In reality, the Flames and Oilers 'media market' overlaps perfectly. And it is about 3.5 million people.
