Because it is the only major pan-Arabic Satellite channel? They are also probably aware that a lot of their watchers are interested in this stuff. It is like a Western group sending stuff to the BBC or ABC. You go to who is reaching the widest audience.
If you are suggesting there is a direct link between AQ and the station I think you are mistaken. They run material from all the factions in the region. It would, howver, be fair to say that their editorial slant is pro-Arab. Not exactly a shock though.
