Replacing existing Channel with new one

Is it possible to replace an existing channel with a new one? The scenario I’m interested in is intead of having separate channels combining them into a unified channel. So basically if I had 3 channels like “My Tennis Videos”, “My Golf Videos” and “My Softball Videos” replacing them all with a new “My Sports Videos”. The ideal would be anyone who had any of the old ones now has the new channel and the old ones are gone.

Otherwise I assume the easiest approach would be to publish the new unified channel and then after some time replace the old channels with a simple channel that just tells people to download the new channel. If that is the case can I link straight to it in the channel store?

It makes more sense to me to build a new portal channel and launch that, then drive users from old channels to new?

What happens to registry entries?
Registry entries are based on developer ID, so if the new channel was signed with the same key, the registry entries will still be there. I’d guess there might be a problem if there were two channels A & B that used different keys and the goal was to migrate them to a new channel C.
