Back when ediquette was in high regard and woman were merely possessions to their husbands, it was traditional for woman (of high status or a wife) to sit to the left of the man. It was respectful in a way, and was suppose to symbolize high regard (or affection, in some cases) for the woman. Not to mention, an heir was the only one who could sit on the right. Anyway, it is sometimes also a play off of weddings (since that to came from the old tradition). The woman is always on the left side of the man. It means that the man has excepted her love and in return has given his heart to her (after all, the heart resides on the left side of the body). Now a days though, that is not always the case. (e.i. watch CNN and you will see that the positions (between the two anchors) sometimes get switched, and the man might be on the left while the woman is on the right or vise versa.) Nonetheless, I think to answer your question. A woman anchor sits to the left more for traditional purposes than anything else.
