In mixing terms, a channel is an individual audio track.  A collection of these audio tracks make-up an entire song.  For example: Channel #1 might be a kick drum, channel #2 a snare drum, channel #3 a hi-hat, and so on.

When mixing a song, it's a lot easier to mix 10 channels than it is to mix 40 channels.  This is why you'll see prices for mixing varying according to how many channels you have in your song.
