Why don't broadcast networks like CBS,NBC and ABC use handheld microphones?

Seems like a silly question but I've always wondered. On both the morning and evening shows the reporters/ correspondents seem to have clip on microphones on their jacket rather than holding a mic stick. Is there any reason for this?

It looks more professional.

 

I prefer it and wish local stations would start doing the same. I know WABC usually has a reporter at 11pm go with a clip on mic rather than hand held.
