I always think it would be useful for radio stations to keep logs of their playlists.

I do check out mit radios list from time to time. It’s somewhat useful to know the names of the shows that play music you like..

Most do now. Most radio stations have a "now playing" window on their website, where you can see the last few songs played. If you dig in, it's a JSON with the last 10 or so songs. If you grab that JSON every 30 minutes, you'll get a full playlist.
