Not likely to happen any time soon, due to the way that channels are packaged by the companies. Big "must have" channels like ESPN, USA, Bravo, etc. are used to subsidize the niche stuff. OAN didn't have a separate "parent" that made it come along, which is why the cable providers are able to dump it and financially strangle it, but let's say it was one of the Disney properties that they force to go alone with ESPN, maybe the cable providers would say "we won't put that channel on" but they wouldn't have the choice of not paying for it, unless they didn't want ESPN either.

The only reason streaming was able to do as well as it has, is because the content providers didn't really know how to force their existing business models on it, now that they are figuring it out (and the content providers all having their own streaming services comes really close... like if you get Peacock you are basically getting a ton of channels at once as a bundle), and we are quickly heading back to the old cable TV model financially, even if it's not a single bill/provider for the last mile like it used to be.
