It's probably more convenient for broadcasters to get everything into the same format at the bottom of the transmission chain, and the most flexible format would be 1080i@30Hz. 1080p@24Hz stuff can be field-repeated up to 30Hz as soon as it enters the chain, and live stuff (or idents and such) can go out straight interlaced. Any 720p stuff could be upsampled to make life easier, too.

^ That's just a guess, though.
