WJBQ/WHOM Portland station RDS shifts / personal preferences

R

radionewengland

Anyone else notice all the recent changes and shifts to the RDS for WJBQ and WHOM in Portland? They seem to be trying out new stuff - but almost every few days it looks different.

Out of curiosity, for commercial radio stations - what do you all prefer to see for RDS? Station info, song info, mix of both...?
 
Personally I like to see as much info as that 57 KHz subcarrier can carry....but that's the engineer in me talking.....!!!
In a MOBILE configuration, IMHO, LESS is BETTER....insofar as the DRIVER goes -- if the operator is busy looking at the text scroll/pushing the "TEXT" button....that's distracted driving -- and an accident waiting to happen!!
For me.....Song title/artist/year of release floats my boat......akin to Sirius/XM Decades Channels.
