Radio Program names not updating in Now Playing

All radio program titles have stopped updating. The music currently playing updates correctly but the program doesn't. So when I start Sonos in the morning I see last night's show title but today's tune! This happens on all providers, TuneIn, Radio player etc. It started some time ago on Sonos v1. I updated to v2 but it's the same. If I re select the same station it gets the correct program but never changes.

Any ideas appreciated!

Ah perfect, thanks for that. It seems like RadioPlayer has extra metadata fields to display the current show name as well as the track name. TuneIn doesn’t appear to have this (at least for Scala radio). I’ll flag this with our engineering team to pass this on to RadioPlayer but I don’t think there’s much we can do to sort it in the short term. I’ve included screenshots of the same station on both RadioPlayer and TuneIn and you can see that the show name doesn’t appear on the TuneIn stream.
