It's along the same lines as the Weather Channel's "yep, it's still rainy and windy here" during last year's hurricanes. They had no news, they were just there and wanted to remind everyone of that. If the palm tree closest to their building fell, they would have reported it.
Stories like "Reporters take a leak" are stories intended to say "there's going to be news here! We'll bring you the latest! We won't miss anything! Don't change the channel, please? Please? We'll report everything there is to say as long as you keep watching us right here. There's more to tell you, really!"
