A: 2013 Calgary Flames Broadcast Schedule and hopefully on CofRed.ca when it is relaunched.

Follow here on Calgarypuck.com with updates daily and with changes to times, networks, and availability.

We do our best to keep things current and correct but sometimes the NHL, TV providers, and/or broadcasters don't do a very good job of helping us help you stay informed.

** For now, any questions, errors or comments please don't hesitate to PM hwy19man or Tsawwassen. **

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!!

"Flames Region" refers to residents in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Northwest Terr. & Nunavut.
"Out of Market Areas" refers to residents in British Columbia, Yukon, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, PEI, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & United States of America.
Winnipeg has a team again, that means the province of Manitoba is no longer part of the Flames region.

Q: Where can I find the Flames game online for free?
A: Please don't ask, discuss or hint towards websites broadcasting the Flames games for free on the internet (unless legally; ie CBC, TSN) including PMs with links or the "rental" of memberships to online websites. This can put CP at risk and we all know we can't live without this place.

Fan960 plays every game online for free. http://www.fan960.com/ Direct link to media player: http://38.99.208.186/fan960

Or check out: http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/index.html; this is a great service and well worth the price. The picture quality is near HD and includes a PVR option so we can pause, rewind, make your own replays.

Q: If the game is blacked out will the local bar be playing it?
A: Probably, give your favourite place a call to find out.

Q: I live in the Flames Region will buying NHLCI mean I get to see every Flames game?
A: No. NHLCI is a great buy for any NHL fan that likes to watch hockey of teams outside their region. Living in the Flames Region you will get to view all the Flames games by subscribing to CBC, TSN, Sportsnet West & Sportsnet One. If you wanted to see the games of any NHL teams (except Flames & Oilers) then NHLCI will give you the opportunity to see 40+ games a week from different NHL teams around the league.

Q: I live in Out of Market Areas and subscribe to Sportsnet West and Sportsnet One, does this mean I will see these games without NHLCI?
A: No. Being in an Out of Market Area these channels will be Blacked Out when the games are being broadcasted on these channels. They determine who will be Blacked Out by your service postal code through your TV provider. If you purchase NHLCI through your TV provider, along with TSN and CBC you will see all 82 Flames games this year plus 100's more with NHLCI.

Q: This is bogus. I want to complain! Who do I complain to?

Flames games available in the USA on national television:

April 5 at San Jose on NBCSN
April 6 at Vancouver on NHL Network

albertGQ · 01-14-2013, 11:35 AM

That Hawks game on Feb 2nd. That's a 6pm MT start. That will coincide with HNIC. Is SNW allowed to show that? I know SNW is allowed to show games on Saturdays now but I wasn't sure if they were able to for games that go head to head with HNIC

Stealth22 · 01-16-2013, 08:28 PM

Will NHL CI include GameCenter as well this year?

Vulcan · 01-17-2013, 10:00 PM

Bell has their 7 HD Centre Ice channels up but I had to do a programming update to see the schedules. This Sundays game is listed to start at 4 PM PST which I believe is wrong though.

Yes, the game time is wrong. The real start time is 3pm, 1500h PST. The reason for that is so Sportsnet West can have a doubleheader with the Oilers game right after the Flames game.

For Telus Optik, Telus Satellite, and Bell Satellite: the Flyers-Penguins game is on the NBC Boston channel. The Blackhawks-Kings game is on NBC Seattle.

For Rogers Cable, it is on NBC Buffalo.
For Videotron, it is on NBC Burlington.
The Blackhawks-Kings game is on NBC Seattle.

For those on Shaw and Shaw Direct, Centre Ice is needed to get this game as NBC Detroit is showing the western game. The Blackhawks-Kings game is on NBC Spokane, Seattle, and Minneapolis.

From the OOT thread, jschick88 posted that the Philadelphia vs Pittsburgh game on NHL Centre Ice has been blacked out. https://twitter.com/Shawhelp

Pierre "Monster" McGuire · 01-20-2013, 11:47 AM

I just checked my Telus Optik and it says the Flames/Sharks game is on 1018, not 1015. I like in Abbotsford, so that might affect what channel it's on.

squiggs96 · 01-20-2013, 04:10 PM

Channel 350 in Vancouver on Shaw. Only now do I have audio. Still a black screen.

burnin_vernon · 01-20-2013, 04:12 PM

In Vancouver
Telus has the game on 1008 in sd. The guide says it's on 1018 but there's nothing there. 1023 is showing in hd but there is no sound.
