What happens when a channel connects one producer to multiple consumers

Technical Discussion

I am new to go and particularly new to goroutines and channels. I want to understand what happens when a channel is written to by a single producer but that same channel is used by multiple concurrent goroutines. The mental model I have is of publish subscribe of topics in messaging platforms. Is this correct?

I am using an unbufferred channel and I am assuming when the producer sends the message on the channel then a copy of the message should be received by all consumers. Is this correct?

I am running into deadlock situations so I am suspecting this assumption may be wrong.
