One local station, though, transmits current song and artist information and no call sign (at least, the iDrive doesn't show the call sign). When I set that station as a preset, the current song title (I Alone, by Live) was somehow "mistaken" for the call sign and is displayed in the presets instead of the frequency or call sign for the station.

So now my presets say, 1. KCLB 2. I Alone - 3. KROQ, etc.

I've tried turning RDS off and resetting the station, but no joy.

This doesn't really annoy me; I just find it a bit curious. Anyone else experience this?

Heh ........... the stations here in the bay area don't even display their currect call-sign. So I have Ashanti, MARIAH, Go 96.5, Alice (Well this is actually correct) and Jill.

Yes it was set when no songs were playing.
