Help on MY18 New iDrive/Satellite Radio Question

Random, and perhaps bonehead question, but I can't seem to figure it out! I just picked up MY18 F80 over the weekend, and I used a lot of Satellite radio in MY16 M4, however, for the life of me, I can't seem to get the Artist/Song name to appear on whatever station I'm playing.

In MY16, let's say I'm listening to Ozzy Boneyard, it would show the song name on the screen as well, it'd be like - "Ozzy Boneyard - Metallica - Justice for All". On my new M3, I can't seem to figure out how to display the song name. I can change the settings to sort the stations by artist, but that was the best I could do.

What does it display now? My MY18 F80 shows the artist, and song name.

It was actually total coincidence, literally the first 3-5 channels in the Sat radio list I looked at the time I noticed and posted this, were all the name of the radio show (e.g. Ozzy Boneyard - Jim Florentine's Metal Midgets).

It seems that XM will sometimes display the radio show name which trumps the artist/song title and doesn't change when they play a given song. I now see song names the majority of time except in these rare instances, it was just coincidence and not a ton of testing on my part before I posted this.
