Channel property should include "item" attribute so device can respond back with title of item playing
Possible to add "item" to the "response" for the Alexa.ChannelController
https://developer.amazon.com/docs/device-apis/alexa-channelcontroller.html
Current "channel" includes number, callSign, affliateCallSign as part of channel object.
If you include something for the media, or item being played such as "item":{"title":"America's Got Talent"}
then Alexa can use that to tell user what item is currently playing after the successful channel-change request.
It removes the need to include the MSO ID (GraceNote info) that Alexa speaks back to the user. (I.E. "Tuning to NBC, now airing America's Got Talent")
