I have the factory radio with satalite and I only get the channel number. I printed out the cheat sheet and keep that handy. You can also program the stations as presets. I bought my 06 used and it works. I do not know for how long but I will not call to ask them.

I have the 6 disc factory RAQ head unit in my '06, if I hit the info button it will show artist name/song title,or toggle back to channel name/number. This is what my Radio looks like.....

That is something that the local stations have to broadcast along with thier signal. The radio in your truck is capable of doing it, but most local stations dont send that signal. The ones that do, it only shows up underneath the station ID.
