Basic question about Channeling

[Indus]

Did a search, maybe I didn't type right words, but didn't find answer.

Just want to know if a cleric's Channel Energy is effected by

1) Empower metamagic

and/or

2) Healing Domain's power Healer's Blessing

Healer's Blessing (Su): At 6th level, all of your cure spells are treated as if they were empowered, increasing the amount of damage healed by half (+50%). This does not apply to damage dealt to undead with a cure spell. This does not stack with the Empower Spell metamagic feat.

Cause I've had one DM say the Channel was empowered by Healer's Blessing, and another say it doesn't because it is not a cure spell.

Thanks for any clarification!

It's not a spell but a supernatural ability, as such it's not affected by metamagic, nor does it count as a cure spell (which is easily identified by having cure in its name).

Thanks for the clarification - that's what I thought, but wanted to be sure.
