Not all of them do, but it probably seems that way. Psychological research has shown that people often have an easier time remember songs than remembering spoken facts. That is why on radio as far back as the late 1920s/early 1930s, some advertisers began using music in their commercials. Radio shows also had theme songs, and this helped people to recall which show they had been listening to, when they were contacted by ratings companies who wanted to know the most popular programs.
TV has kept this custom of using a theme song because of the widespread belief that music helps people identify the show they were watching. And it is worth noting that some TV theme songs have become as popular as the show they come from-- in the 1980s, for example, the theme from "Hill Street Blues" became a big hit on top-40 radio stations.
