Do any of the Apple TV Channels require a Cable TV service subscription? If so, which channels?

DirecTV Now (now renamed AT&T TV Now) has an app for the Apple TV set-top box. You would need to subscribe to that to get access to their content.
You do not have to subscribe to Apple TV to use the Apple TV set-top box.
You would have to subscribe to Apple TV+ to see the special Apple TV+ shows.
So, one of the Apple channel offerings is DirectTV Now. This is an AT&T offering and I would need to also subscribe to DirectTV Now as well as AppleTV. Is that correct?
