Okay,

So maybe this has always been happening and I never noticed til now. But the other day I had it on 96rock and my display on the radio started scrolling the artist and song name of the current song. I've looked at a few other stations and they don't seem to do it. Is this a feature that I've just overlooked over the past few years?

i think it depends on the radio station and what they want displayed. i know when i was down in orlando a bunch of stations would display song names. but up here in atl not as much.

Yeah, it's part of the "RDS" function on your radio. More stations around here are starting to get with it. It simply tells you the name of the station and some take it a step further by telling you the Deejay or, in this case, the song. :)

Yep, radio stations around the country are finally starting to utilize the RDS function, a capability they have had for some time now. A couple of months ago I was driving from Hartsfield to Athens and I believe I was listening to Star 94, I saw the station name come up and then the score of the Braves game. Cool stuff.
