They need to do it quick so they can get to all the
ads. Sometimes this also happens with sports stations
when they try to fit two minutes worth of scores into
a one-minute "sportsflash".

Some detail is OK, but sometimes they do go into
too much detail (want all that detail? That's what 
The Weather Channel is for). Remember when the weather
segment on The (Ch. 2) Ten O'Clock News ran for
only a minute or so (I think the anchor, Lydon, did
it).
Of course this kind of approach would put
weathercasters out of work (having the anchor do it,
etc.)
