Tensor network representations of many-body quantum systems can be described in terms of quantum channels. We focus on channels associated with the multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz tensor network that has been recently introduced to efficiently describe critical systems. Our approach allows us to compute the multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz correspondent to the thermodynamical limit of a critical system introducing a transfer matrix formalism, and to relate the system critical exponents to the convergence rates of the associated channels.
