I tried running EarthBound (NTSC) on my PAL Wii and it comes up with a 'This channel cannot be used' message. All the other .wads I've installed run fine, but I made sure they were ripped from a PAL format. Is there any way I can run NTSC .wads on my Pal 4.3 Wii?

Have you tried PriiLoader? You can use one of its "System Menu Hacks" option, click on enable "Region Free".

I tried freethewads, but when I tried running Earthbound it just gave me a black screen. I have no idea if this is because I was running it off the SD Card Channel, but I will try PriiLoader.
