He wants to know if the infidelity has made the 6:00 gossip run.
Kanye is asking if there is more “secrets” he doesn’t know about but everyone around him seems to know, which links back to earlier in the song when everybody he knows already knew before he did, so he had to act like he knew. Only this time, he goes directly to the source to get the information out of her rather than hear the word on the street.

Kanye kept a poker face, showing no emotions: fear, anger, sadness – nothing. He was so devastated by the news that he couldn’t bring out a single word, because he was not expecting it at all. The “bad news” is the fact that Kanye found out that his ex-fiancée Alexis Phifer was cheating on him.

A clever double entendre, it can be interpreted in two ways:
“Channel crews” as in News Channel Crew, most likely in reference to reported news stories as the Bad News, this juxtaposes ‘Ye’s personal troubles with other more troubling public issues.
“Channel cruise” as in Kanye doesn’t really care what’s on the news and when asked about it he just “cruises” the channels to see if there is anything of interest on the idiot box.
This line itself conveys the situation in which Kanye is not able to escape the “bad news” surrounding his life.
