I'd be willing to bet that Sportsnet (as crappy as they are) did some polling back when...and they have a pretty good idea that E=NG rules the province, because their advertising is *heavily* slanted in that direction. For all that their production values are horsecrap, their business side is pretty solid and that's who would have done the measuring. Given that in most ads one barely - if at all - sees a Flames jersey and there is no shortage of Greaser colours tells me all I need to know about fanbases.
This is more evident in the regional broadcasts than the national ones, but it shows up in both. Advertisers don't like to waste their money, and when SN advertises for itself it's the No Goods most of the time.
Oh, and that comment about Calgary being an Oiler town prior to 2004? Pure poppycock. I lived there from 1978-2013 and that comment is simply off the charts stupid.
