Description
The [Stream current TV game of a TV channel](https://lichess.org/api#tag/tv/GET/api/tv/{channel}/feed) API does not publish the time control of the game. All we have is the seconds left to each player when the stream starts.
The problem can be solved by [exporting the JSON](https://lichess.org/api#tag/games/GET/game/export/{gameId}) of the game in question, but why use another API call for an information pertinent only to TV streaming?

Research direction
Start by reading the GET /api/tv/{channel}/feed endpoint and the linked game export endpoint to understand the current response fields and available time-control data. Done means the TV game stream exposes the game's time control without requiring a second API call.
