Seems to me that only the original show material can be copyrighted and the individual commercials. How would you copyright a show with one set of commercials and then display the same show a week later with different commercials.
Not saying it can't and hasn't been done, but for shows that have been broadcast many times by many stations it does not seem feasible.
My understanding is that copyright is for original works not a combination of a bunch of random, already individually copyrighted works that many people have some sort of rights to display.
