Here in northeastern Montana, I've only seen two stations use the RDS. KATQ in Plentywood and KTHC, Power 95 in Sidney. My 93 Lincoln doesn't have an RDS capable radio, but my mom & dad's 2003 Chevy Impala does and I checked the station's today, both have the RDS turned off. They were on last summer when I last remembered looking. Neither station did anything more than just display their call letters with RDS.
In June, I helped the parents drive to the Kansas City area and one market that I noticed that really used the RDS displays was Minot, ND. It was a little bit of a wow factor at first, but if you were driving it could be downright dangerous if you were checking the display when you should be watching the road instead.
