I think most games weren't televised at all in those (analog) days. With only a limited number of networks, there wasn't interest in those days to show every game on TV (even with pay-per-view). You had to use radio to follow the Flames. It was only with the rise of sports stations and the increasing value of live sports that more and more games became televised.
