file mudule.js :

Drupal.behaviors.ajaxProgram = {
        attach: function (context, settings) {

            // CSS Selector for the button which will trigger the AJAX call

            $('.channel-tv-tabs .tab .tabset .single-prog', context).click(function () {

                var channel_id = $(this).data('channel-id');

                $.ajax({
                    url: '/'+Drupal.settings.pathPrefix + 'ajax/channel/'+channel_id+'/get-program', // This is the AjAX URL set by the custom Module
                    type: "POST",
                    data: { channel_id : channel_id }, // Set the number of Li items requested
                    dataType: "json",          // Type of the content we're expecting in the response
                    success: function(data) {
                        var parsed_data = $.parseJSON(data);
                        console.log(parsed_data);  // Place AJAX content inside the ajax wrapper div
                    },
                    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
                        console.log(errorThrown);
                    }

                });

            });

        }
    };

Change the callback into this:

function get_channel_program($channel_id){
  if (!is_numeric($channel_id)) :
    drupal_not_found();
  else :
    drupal_json_output($channel_id);
  endif;
}

Change the jQuery into this:

$('.channel-tv-tabs .tab .tabset .single-prog', context).click(function () {
     ...
     $.get('/ajax/channel/'+channel_id+'/get-program', function(data) {
     alert("got "+ data);
   });
});

This uses HTTP GET verb.

According to the design of the HTTP specification, GET (along with HEAD) requests are used only to read data and not change it

instead of POST

The POST verb is most-often utilized to create new resources.
