I'm guessing the places you see this are either using some sort of middleware magic that is taking the cut info from different sections of a program and the program is what the local automation is playing OR the program is provided in segments and each segment has that metadata that you see.
You could approximate this in a few ways with rdairplay that I can think of off hand immediately, all end up putting the show name as part of cut metadata. Alternatively you could make a custom pypad script that checks the current time against a program list or database and prepends the result.
