There certainly are jurisdictions where tv providers are legally required to offer channels a la carte.

  Not in the US…

    And not typically channels that can survive independently

    Sure, but we're generally talking here about companies that don't operate only in the US. :) e.g. the CRTC has regulations around a la carte offerings since the past decade: https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/television/program/alacarte.htm https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/television/program/alacarte.htm > TV service providers must offer channels both individually and in packages of up to 10 channels.
