Not including artist/track metadata with the stream might be sufficient
to meet this demand.
There are free streamripping applications that include the ability to
watch for your favourite artist across multiple stations and then
record tracks that haven't already been snagged.
If the broadcaster doesn't provide a real-time playlist then it
discourages that sort of ripping.
However, if the station has no DJ (or even a synthesised, voice tracked
one) then this makes it annoying for the listener wants to know what was
playing so that they can make a mental note to go out and find more by
that artist and even buy a CD.

All seems somewhat futile and even self-defeating to me.
