The video clip afterwards goes in the archives, some run by 3rd party companies. So that means that later on, when the clip is run from the archives, people know who the reporter was and who the agency was. Secondary bonus is that its right there for the editor/producer if  its a pre-recorded segment, so they can get the lower 3rds right. 

It's also a brand thing, getting the name of the reporter out that he can use to build recognition.

Finally, it's a professionalism thing, as it gives a nice clear decisive ending/close out, thats standard and doesn't leave people \[reporters\] feeling awkward.
