I think it's because we pretty much have to as we're a small country surrounded by bigger countries like France, Germany and the UK.
And of course German tv is all about dubbing foreign shows rather than subtitling them like the Dutch, which I think also helps a lot in learning a language. While the Dutch do dub some things, it's usually cartoons like Pokemon, where kids watch who can't quite read well/quickly enough to follow it.
