A channel is just a designated frequency. It simplifies and standardizes the use of a frequency band. It also prevents interference by keeping the frequency of adjacent channels far enough apart so they do no interact with each other.

In a frequency-division multiplexed system, a channel is "carried" on a frequency. The frequency (more correctly, the waves hasving that frequency) are the medium of communication, and the channel is the content, the thing being carried.

Pretty much nothing although the communications people like to refer to channels for transmitting information. If you refer to something like TV, in the US, it's easier to refer to channel 2 instead of the 54 to 60 MHz frequency range.

A channel is a range of frequencies. A frequency is just one value.
