Most full-size broadcast stations tend to run between 50 and 100Kw
transmitter output.  Most houses can run quite happily on between 3 and
5Kw, most of the time (unless the AC is on :-).

If this did happen, the signal would not be interrupted enough to make
it inaudible in the target area anyway.

I won't get into the theory of whether the signal would be drawn down
by the interception in the first place, since I can't quote cites.
