The only reason I tried the HLS streams was in case the metadata was
more useful (on a player with a VFD).

Anyway, I cracked it.  I changed a line in BBCOnAir.pm.  $self->text is
where it stores a specific string for showing on VFD displays.  I
concatenated the title and info strings with ': ' between.

before:
$self->text($info);

after:
$self->text($title . ': ' . $info);

Radio 4 now says:
Today In Parliament: 06/06/2018
instead of:
06/06/2018

Radio 1 now says
Huw Stephens: The Ultracheese by The Arctic Monkeys
instead of:
The Ultracheese by The Arctic Monkeys

So in effect, because of what the BBC uses in each field, on the music
stations I now get "Host: Song by Artist" and on news/chat stations I
get "Title: Date".
