Depends on the type of channel. "Standard" chat channels are either local (reaches everyone in the entire zone) or global (anyone logged in). Trade, Looking for Group, and channels like that are global. Players are free to enter or leave the channels at any time via a /join [channel name] or /leave [channel name]. Some channels are automatically activated when entering a city (i.e. trade) or putting up your LFG flag (LFG channel), but can still be left manually with a /leave command.

Basically, imagine public linkshells.
