So as to pack in more information.
Broadcasters were required to use the same channel space when they went digital as they were originally assigned by the FCC. However, the new digital hidef information, including the surround audio, would have taken up at least six channels worth of space. By compressing the data (removing redundant info), they're now actually able to put more programming into the same amount of space.

Why does signal processing in digital mode?
You can process signals with many analog circuits. The advantage of Digital Signal Processing, is that once you have represented the signal in a digital form, you can use a computer program to perform much more complex operations on the signal than could be accomplished with an analog circuit. Such examples are noise cancellation and compression. With the recent advent of 'Digital TV', the stations can fit more information into a smaller 'bandwidth' through compression (much as you might ZIP a large file before emailing it), allowing for delivery of more content.
