I have always envisioned maybe 250,000 people watching our Sportsnet Flames games ... maybe it is way lower, who knows. But that is the size of audience I always assumed it would be, given the "water cooler" talk with so many people the next day.

They have 2.5 million people paying $5-10/month in carriage fees for a channel they don't watch. Viewership doesn't matter for the cable RSN model. Cord cutting will make that model unsustainable, but it's still quite profitable for now.
