If you really "demand" it, it's widely available...just not through your typical cable company. I get AJE plus a bevy of other Arabic channels with Dish Network's Arabic Package[1], as well as via a settop box from Islambox[2] (not the best quality streaming imo, but ymmv). There's pretty clear instructions on how to get a crystal-sharp image for really cheap via satellite[3] from AJE themselves. If you do go the roll-your-own satellite route, you'll probably be surprised to find tons of other awesome news and entertainment channels floating out there in the ether for free, all at virtually no cost other than initial setup, and at hi-def quality.
