I can think of several reasons:

1) In earlier times, before the digital age, it would be a nice way to change the background image to the image needed for the next story. And for historical reasons you still do it
2) It is a way to signal to the viewers that you are changing to a new story
3) It is a way to keep people interested. If your angle never changes people might falling asleep, or decide that nothing is happening and change channels.

Personally I think it is stupid. I get really stressed when the image changes all the time, and I have trouble focusing on what is actually said.
