Bundles and packages are sold all the time and are generally less expensive than buying a la carte.

How about “Build your own bundle?” The cable provider give you a list of channels categorized as 1, 2 or 3 “stars.” Top Movie channels might be 3 stars while history or discovery might be 2 each. You subscribe to a number of stars (i.e. 12, 15, 18, 20 etc). You “spend” stars to build your bundle. Once you set it up, it would be the same as the current system. You pay your monthly bill and there’s probably a fee you have to pay if you add, drop or change your choices.

I wonder which channels would be left hanging...

I like that myself but I suspect cable companies would use it as an excuse to jack up the prices. Long tail content over the internet seems to be the future. Find what you want and watch when you want via portals like netflix that offer huge assortments of content for a fixed price ... or pay per watch. Pricing is not a la carte per se but the experience is sort of like a la carte in that I watch what I want whenever I want.
