Summary: 

Most of the cable companies that I am familiar with insert the stereo
MTV signal onto an unused portion of the standard FM band.  Many also
insert "pseudo-stereo" audio from HBO, Showtime, etc.  All that you
need to receive these signals is a standard splitter inserted before
the cable decoder.

You say that you were able to receive your local FM stations using
such a set up.  Were they received on their normal frequencies?  Many
cable companies insert these signals on slightly shifted frequencies
to avoid interference from the signal broadcast over the air.  If the
local stations are received on their proper frequencies then their
signals were probably not inserted by the cable company.
