How should we store FAST channels?

[freearhey]

Currently, FAST channels are being added to the database without any consistent system, which leads to confusion. To avoid this, it would be great if the community decided how exactly such channels should be categorized.

Option 1: Channels must be assigned a country based on the country of the owner and must have a separate feed for each country where the channel is available.
