Not necesarily that it *failed*---it probably did bring in viewers---viewers that kept watching 24 on FX, instead of watching it on FOX (for the ratings, when it matters). Once the FX airing was pulled, if a viewer wanted to stick to the program, they had no choice but to turn the dial to FOX, thus upping the ratings.
As far as the money matters, they may be sister companies, but they are still separate entities. Most likely, the sole decision on whether to re-air a show on FX vs. another network is money. Will they make more on ad revenue plus whatever FX is going to shell out(probably a highly reduced rate)? Or, will the alternate network be willing to pay enough that it makes good business sense to re-air it on another network? In this case, it seems option #2 came out ahead.
In other syndication tidbits, I did hear that sci-fi also got the X-Files syndication rights. Soooo FX may not be in the most profitable place right now...
