Sounds like either your battery is low due to charging issues or the battery may be bad.

I have lost the clock a few times usually due to the battery getting low and the cranking Voltage dropping too low upon starting. I have yet to lose radio stations.

I do occasionally put my battery on a "maintenance" charge due to how I sometimes use the vehicle. Too many start and stops in short distances along with occasional waiting for family members with the radio on.

I do not think I have ever seen a battery warning on my 2008 4.8l yet.

You may be suffering from an intermittent no charge situation that is draining the battery and leaving it chronically low, but may make enough short trips that charging starts on a later restart.
