When the Flames first came to town, regular-season home games were not televised unless they were on HNIC, and regular-season road games were sometimes televised and sometimes not. Usually there were something like 25 to 30 games on TV, plus playoffs.

This changed with the rise of cable sports channels, and with the belated realization by owners that putting the games on TV actually increased demand for tickets.
