Probably incase something doesn't turn back on!
I think it’s a consequence of the JFK assassination. Was it CBS & Walter Cronkite who were out of vision and down a telephone line because the cameras took a while to warm up, which isn’t ideal when the news was so great, fast moving and unexpected. I’m sure I read that after that at least one studio of some sort was always left on.
