TV sound in the kitchen

I have a Sonos Beam paired with two Sonos One SL (2nd gen) speakers as a home cinema setup, and I’m really happy with the sound quality. Since I’m such a fan of Sonos, I recently added a Sonos Era 100 in the kitchen.

The issue I’m running into is this: after playing music throughout the house (including the kitchen), when I switch to watching TV, the TV audio also plays through the kitchen speaker. To fix this, I have to grab my phone or iPad and manually remove the tv sound from the kitchen speaker.

I understand how grouping works in the Sonos app, but I’m wondering:
Is there a way to automate which speakers are used for TV audio versus music playback?
Or is manually adjusting the group via the app the only solution?

There is a setting to Ungroup when you switch to tv input. Go to Settings, then select the relevant room and scroll down. Toggle TV Autoplay and Ungroup on Autoplay to both be On. The Beam will switch to tv sound and the kitchen should continue playing the music.
