Because while Phil and Paul do "pre" stuff unique to OLN (which by the way is not always live, but done ahead, thus how they get their logo'd shirts on), they are sending a feed to many sources other than OLN. For example, if you have the '03 DVD of the TdF, you will clearly note that the "feed" used is for ITV (their logos on the microphones and in the booth), not OLN. Thus, on the DVD we get a daily "David Millar update".

On OLN when Beloki crashed, Phil was talking...on the DVD it's Paul and you can hear Phil in the background speaking to the other feed...
