Channels share with their filaments in a hemispheric dependance for the orientation of their axial magnetic fields. This property has significant implications for models of filaments. In support of new model-building exercises, this review examines known signatures of channels, presents evidence that emerging flux plays a key role in creating a new filament channel, and compares channels which form in the belts of active latitudes with those formed closer to the poles.
