Progressive makes sense for a lot of networks that show fast actions, like sports. It makes sense why ABC, Fox and ESPN would choose 720p, because 1080p wasn't really an option when they made the commitment.

The 1080p infrastructure is slowly rolling out now though. ESPN's new studios in LA for example, will have the hardware to handle 1080p, whenever the network decides to make the switch.
