The reason for that is that Rupert Murdoch leverages all his other networks to force cable stations to carry Fix Noise, which is a very expensive channel.

Sorry fellow oldsters, but those of us over 65 get no credit in ratings demographics, because we are considered set in our ways and tough sells. So they have long had a larger but nominally less valuable audience.
