It's a good idea, but pointless if you end up charging too much or don't offer what's needed. Looking up the cost of production studios isn't so much about whether they offer streaming, but rather to get an idea of the cost to rent out a space for music. Unlike night time events, you could probably rent by the hour.
Personally, I'd set this up as a proper second venture in the venue. Offer tiered services: from just giving hourly access to the booth, right up to offering to have everything set up for a livestream/recording, including somewhere online to do it (either something like chew.tv or your FB page. This will encourage people to use the space more, as your online presence will undoubtably have more reach than theirs, so streaming to yours as well as their own FB would be attractive.
You could even have day long genre-specific stream events, where DJs can rent a slot, bring friends along, and have a Boiler Room feel.
What venue is it, out of interest?
