Maybe. It depends on the station. Station Info may or may not be present. The two HD stations that I checked had it, another non-HD station did not.

Displaying additional information
Some stations broadcast additional information
on the current track, such as the name of the artist.
1. Select the desired station.
2. Open "Options".
3. "Station info"

You can also get some information from stations by enabling RDS. The list of FM frequencies will change to whatever information the station chooses to send out, which is the station name or call letters in some cases, and junk in some cases. You may get information on station, artist, and title displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
