On this occasion, the three channels being axed (and there maybe more to follow) is the result of the CBS/Viacom merger and Comcast's takeover of Sky. There are just too many channels.
However, if a pattern starts to emerge here that media companies start to withhold content for their own channels only and exclude other's content, then yes, that would be a clear signal of major changes as a result of the rise of the streamers.
