Doesn't Europe (at least Western Europe) fit into New England (a very small part of the U.S.) with plenty of room left over?

Population density would also seem to come into play. We have four different transmission zones in the U.S. I suspect there is only one in all of Europe. (Different power maximums/height above average terrain apply to each zone.)

Broadcasters are local. Somehow, the Brits and other Europeans make the economics work. The main difference I can see is that the multiplexes are nationwide.
Most of the European 'states' are smaller than some individual American states. Do you suppose geographic closeness could have
an effect on the meaning of 'nationwide' and 'local broadcaster' to the Europeans?
