    I have a couple of channels that I would completely like to be moved (data, fields, etc) to a different site under an MSM build.  Can that be done somehow in the DB?

    Somehow…sure..😉

    How much work is the change worth to you is the question. I’d think you’d best setup a copy of the site somewhere to experiment, then turn on output profiling and see what queries run when you create a channel. That should give some insight into the affected tables, and where you could look to change the site_id of the channel you want to change. 

    I have an install where I’d move a channel if it was easy, but have chosen to just live with it instead since I can easily pull the content correctly on the front end.
