Your math's a little off.

T1 = 24 8-bit channels + 1 frame bit sent 8000 times a second.

24*8 = 192+1 = 193 bits sent 8000 times a second = 1544000bps.

Now you don't get to play with the frame bit:
24*8 = 192 * 8000 = 1536000bps, which is the payload data rate of a T1.

I won't get into the RBS signaling and framing but you get the idea.
