Easiest thing to do is save your binds to a file, edit the name of the channel and then reload the file.
In game type /bindsavefile nineclaws.txt
This will save all your binds to the file nineclaws.txt in the /data folder of your CoH install
Then find the file and edit with notepad to correct the names of the global channels that have changed.
Then in-game type /bindloadfile nineclaws.txt
This reloads all the corrected binds from the text file into your character.

/showbind <key>
Where <key> is your current keybind.
/bind <key> beginchat /send <channel name> <whatever you want for defaults>
If <channel name> has spaces, you need to enclose it in quotes.
The <whatever you want for defaults> can include $name, $level, $archetype, $origin, etc.
With your example:
/bind <key> beginchat /send "Defiant Events EU" ($name:$level)

Sorry, minor correction...the /data folder is the default location if it exists. In a plain vanilla install it will not exist and the location will default to the root install folder instead.
I've had a /data folder in my install for as long as I can remember and that's where bindsavefile defaults to.
a quick way to change a chat bind (quick as in only 1 chanel and only 1 toon) would be just to press the key which you use for the channel in question. Then before you type anything or send a message hit home to take you back to the start of the text. enter "/bind <key> beginchat " then after /send where the channel name is enter the new channel name (in this case "Defiant Events EU" confirm your defaults are still there and then hit enter. Your bind will now be updated.
Just to confirm it should look something like this
/bind <key> "beginchat /send "Defiant Events EU" ($name:$level) "
I always follow my chat binds with a space (hence the quotes to show this) so that when I start to type theres a gap between the default text and what I write. If you don't do that simply remove it.
One needs to ask here: Is it really important that the local name and level of the character I'm logged-in as be spammed every single time I say something in that global channel?
Maybe so if it's a channel for putting together leveling-up missions. Otherwise, probably not.
With SuperSideKicking in place, is announcing the level of your toon over and over again ever relevant except for TFs and Ouroboros missions that have minimum levels?
With the ability to click on your global name and invite to team or league or getlocalname, is announcing your current toon's name needed? (Apart maybe for RP channels.)
Those name/level/AT tags take up space and make a chat window scroll faster.
A better solution, IMO, is a bind to announce yourself in the channel such as:
[Zombie Man]: Greetings! Zombie Man here on Nethermore my level 50 Regen Scrapper. What's happening?
And then forget about spamming local name and level with every chat line.

Yeah, I have two binds for my favorite global channel (SG channel, name removed to protect its privacy):|

/bind shift+enter beginchat /send "Group Channel"
/bind control+enter beginchat /send "Group Channel" [$name - $level $archetype]
Shift+enter gets far more use than control+enter.

In other words you gave the bind command too many parameters.

In short, my channel binds (even in my default bind files) look exactly the same as described above, and they work just fine.

The game is actually pretty good about dealing with the quotes.

I've never had any issues and I've been using commands that way for years. As Master-Blade mentioned I've more often found forgetting to surround stuff in quotes causes me more issues. Plus on a personal level it makes things easier for me to read. the double quotes around the command help me to see it as the 3 parts. It is the bind command, then the key and then the command I want to bind the key to.|

But then again they are not needed in anyway so if they cause problems remove them, the game doesn't care, in the same way the game doesn't care if you use /powexecname or /pow_exec_name the underscores are simply there for human readability.
When i try putting the server name $Server
It puts this I1COHLMAIN00V
You put the first quotation before the "/send"
For RO, I have
/bind P beginchat "/send "Repeat Offenders" ($name S[erver]/S[ide]) "
and it works for me.
