Actually, I think if people were able to pick their own channels, the weirder fringe channels would fold up because not as many people would select them. Having an a la carte selection process would limit the diversity of channels, as each channel would strive to be a carbon-copy of the more successful channels.

For example, I watch C-Span maybe twice a year. If I were given a choice, I wouldn't pay for it. But then I would lose the opportunity to catch those two rare shows a year that snag my attention.
