Taking a channel divinity feat gives you:
*The ability to use the new given power as a Channel Divinity alternative
*A extra Daily Channel Divinity power slot, which doesn't stack with other Channel Divinity daily power slots or multiclass feat power slots. This daily slot can be used to activate any one Channel Divinity power you possess.
In other words, give some extra power with the ability to use a maximum of two Channels in an encounter, once a day, while maintaining the amount of possible power slots available from other similar sources. The new slot is a daily slot because Channel Divinity powers are encounter powers, and multiclass feats generally grant a power in a higher category slot than what the class would normally use.
