Philo.com is my new favorite service. It has discovery, history etc but no sports or news channels. $16\month and you can Dvr shows too.
Services like philo.com, Youtube Plus, etc., follow the old cable/satellite models of tiers for different contents.
THE service that ever goes ala carte could own the industry in a couple of years.
That is partly why Netflix was so successful with their streaming — no commercials and a low monthly fee. From what I hear, even CBS Access shows have commercials. ABC/Disney just bought the Fox stuff for their content with the intention of expanding into a streaming service. My cable offers ‘on demand’ for many channels, but those offerings include commercials.
It will be interesting to see which ones survive and what new competition comes in the near future.
