These people aren't narrating for the blind. That's what the alternate soundtrack is for. They're talking because they adore the sound of their own voices.
I remember the TV news coverage of the Mars Rover landings, where they constantly cut away to a couple of talking heads telling us over and over again what had just been announced by mission control, often drowning out NASA conversation. Turning down the volume wasn't an option. I had to go to the internet.
In Shuttle stories, the news guy would be holding a model of the Orbiter, and turning it over and over in his hands. These guys would have yammered right through Armstrong's first words on the Moon.
In a similar vein, you can't hear a political speech given without the news guys turning up for half an hour afterward to tell you what you just heard.
