No need for buffer-name; you can pass buffers directly to "%s".

This should instead be something like the following:

  (lambda (&rest _)
    (pop-to-buffer channel))

In particular, lambdas don't need to be quoted with #', pop-to-buffer is
far better behaved than switch-to-buffer, and unused argument names
should either start with an underscore or be omitted.
