For situations like this I tend to use a custom rule with a section of the where clause being like :
and (channel.callsign = "Chanel5" or channel.callsign = "5*")
If there's just one channel to exclude, then it may be easier to just use :
and not channel.callsign = "Channel5"
A little SQL goes a long way :) Luckily I've been using SQL at work for the last decade or two so it's (mostly) familiar.
