With PPV events, you may well get live events set out in time order, but they need not be sequential in the same way as a channel is - they will either be displayed in order of times or they could be displayed by event type (eg football, concerts, etc). Some of these events will overlap rather than be back to back.
But the concept of TV channels will not generally exist because it would not be a popular choice in an OTT environment.
I would be very interested to know what proportion of Now’s audience watch programmes on their live channels via the EPG rather than from the on demand section of the streamer.

I’m not sure why it’d be any more interesting than how many people watch Line of Duty as broadcast on BBC 1 than on iPlayer.
