I've experienced the same thing, just not with a particular channel
I always assumed it was an excess mold release pollution issue, however I was recently taken to task over the issue by a few inmates who stated (rather convincingly)that the whole mold release issue is mythical in nature.
I'm guessing you have some sort of a stylus fouling and azimuth or alignment issue.

You might consider cleaning your stylus with the ultra fine (8000 grit) 3M light green sand paper technique, which I learned from a high end dealer friend
with almost 40 years analog experience who used that exclusively as well as recommending it to all his clients many of whom ran megabuck cartridges, it is extremely effective in removing resistant crud, but completely harmless, you just take a tiny piece and gently pull it across the stylus from back to front once or twice, don't forget to turn down the gain as it sounds horrendous.
I normally use either the Zen dust pad and or the Magic Eraser, but use the 3M paper on occasion.
