# Channel

The optional channel option, allows you to limit the show selection in the Promo Widget to those that are assigned to a certain channel. The channel option accepts your desired channel's slug as a value.

If omitted, all public shows are considered to be promoted in the widget.

```typescript
// Basic channel configuration.
const alertConfig: Partial<AlertConfig> = {
  channel: 'demos',
};

// Prefer shows promoted in channels.
const alertConfig: Partial<AlertConfig> = {
  channel: {
    // Pick the first show highlight from the beauty channel.
    mode: 'priority',
    slug: 'beauty'
  }
}

// Prefer shows promoted in channels
const alertConfig: Partial<AlertConfig> = {
  channel: {
    // Pick a random show highlight from the beauty channel.
    mode: 'random',
    slug: 'beauty'
  }
}
```
