Internet Radio Headings

My wife and I are having a cup of coffee and listening to MDR Classik (from Munich) on Apple TV. The heading on the composition, if I understand the German correctly, is telling me that they are playing a program of "Jewish Music" and the composition is called "The Dybbuk".
My ears, however, tell me that I am listening to Richard Strauss "Ein Heldenleben". I have now switched to a Polish Station, and the heading is listing the work as Gershwin's "American In Paris", but damned if Gershwin doesn't sound like Beethoven's Emperor. Radio Swiss Classique seems to have gotten right as the heading and the music seem to be Corelli's Christmas Concerto, but Radio New England (Springfield, Mass) is telling me that they are playing Bach's Christmas Cantata while Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy dances around our living room.
That is 1 out of 4 headings actually correlating with the music being played. Is there something about the Internet that makes it difficult to correlate the music with the heading? It was still an enjoyable way to spend an hour. Perhaps the moral of the story is to trust the precision of the Swiss and the rest of the world needs to be verified.
btw, the BBC doesn't have headings that show up on Apple TV

There was a time when stations had schedules known and published in advance. Then some people got wise and started to record pieces based on the schedules. Then the stations retaliated and only gave the details after the tracks had been played. Not only that, but I think in the US the law got involved and made that mandatory. I wonder if that has anything to do with the original observations.

Capitalism gone mad, isn't it.
