They seem to be focused on whether building a more powerful transmitter counts as rebroadcasting, not on whether the commercials are-or-are-not a fixed part of the broadcast.
I repeat: whose copyright would they be infringing? Who manages copyright for the TV show with commercials, given that the show itself and the commercials have different rights holders?
You also said, "the rights holders are obligated to bring actions if they believe there is infringement," which is not true. Copyright isn't like trademarks; it doesn't go away if it's not enforced. Rights holders have the right to decide what to allow and what to forbid.
