Many programs have done away with opening credits or theme songs to garner additional time for programming, or more than likely, advertising. Similarly, they run the end credit scroll faster than any normal human can read at the side of the screen during the show's closing scene to cross-utilize more of their time.

We are already getting 20 minutes or less of programming per half hour due to advertising, so this looks like one way they are trying to reclaim some programming time while still squeezing in some adverts, or just adding that much more advertising in a somewhat subliminal manner.
