Back around 1978, someone in Syracuse did essentially that. Channel 7 was empty (Syracuse had then only 4 TV channels), and word had it that the transmitter was made from an old guitar amplifier. VCRs were a new product, and they played tapes of Star Trek, some porn, and such... Went on the air a Friday night and shut down Sunday night (the nearest FCC field office was about 150 miles away, in Buffalo, and they didn't work on weekends). Seems it was the first pirate TV station ever done. It got a short article in the New York Times.
