There have been a few stations in the US that have tried what's called a Distributed TV Service. A DTS system is usually the original transmitter with on-channel repeaters in terrain-blocked areas. Interest in such operations has dropped to zero, and grand plans have gone unbuilt.

Distributed low-power transmitters will not be the solution.
