One thing Faux has done has worked with the cable systems to ensure they got on as many as possible. They even sued New York to get on that system..and it didn't take much for them to get on. It also helps that Faux is packaged with movie channels and other goodies that cable operators want...and to get FX or Fox Movies, you have to take Faux Noise as well. MSNBC/GE has never been as aggressive and thus are on far fewer systems...thus their ratings have always been the worst of the cable news channels and more the reason that Olbermann's success if of note. It also doesn't hurt that Murdoch owns Direct TV now.
