Because they have to spoon-feed dumbass (mostly) American audiences?
It's all about "dead air" which was a killer on radio...should never happen as any good radio person will tell you. But TV is different, though the announcers have never seemed to adjust to that (or maybe it's the execs that decide that's what the audience "needs"?). You have the visual...now add something to that visual that is not obvious!
There is little need for blather in a visual medium.
