Understanding channel richness helps in clarifying the capacity of a channel to convey information, which in turn improves communication. It helps both encoders in choosing the appropriate channel for their message and decoders in understanding the message conveyed through the chosen channel. Knowing whether a channel is formal or informal communication can be helpful in certain contexts, but understanding channel richness is more useful in enhancing overall communication effectiveness.
