Only because most people now have television, so it made more financial sense 
to include the radio licence in the televison licence, rather than make 
people buy two licences, which the licensing authoroty then had to collect. 
This did indeed happen for many years.  But the underlying premise is that 
you do need a licence to listen to radio - it is just that for some time 
(probably since before you were born!) the licence fee for radio alone has 
been set at zero.
