Radio detailed information not showing up

Does anyone else seen a similar situation? Sometimes it show all the details, such as song name, artist, etc.
Sometimes it doesn't show any details, only showing the radio station number.

Honestly, I haven't noticed as I never listen to FM radio, only Sirius XM or my own music on my thumb drive. I need to take a look at this.

Not all radio stations broadcast that info with their signal - hard to believe in 2021, I know. Or are you suggesting it doesn’t display the information with stations that it normally does? Your pictures show two different stations.

I normally listen to 90.3, which is the first picture, it used to show detailed information like the radio station in the 2nd picture. It's being strange these days, it will show up when I start up the car, then ten minutes later it's gone, another couple minutes, it's back.

That's really odd then. Is it happening on the one station (90.3) only or is it showing sometimes and not showing other times on multiple stations? If it's only happening on 90.3 then I'm more inclined to think the issue is specific to that station. If it's more pervasive, I'd see if there's a way to reset the radio (if that's even possible) and start anew.

Everytime, I hop into the car, I forget to check this. And I drove it this morning too.

It happened to multiple stations, I would love to learn how to reset that thing, only if there is a way to do it, lol. I guess I just need to live with that, since the car is getting older everyday, sucks..
