It could be, but it’s hard to do. Each frequency is sold/assigned to individual broadcasters, usually going back decades ago before the nation-wide conglomerates snagged up all the stations and branded them as their own.

So in theory they could do it, it’s just really hard (and expensive) to do something like that and honestly not worth the money.
