Don't quite think so...

Probably isn't far off..each transmitter has several; 100KW units, and
they aren't 100% efficient.

Remember that the power output figures quoted TV transmitters are their
ERP, not the actual transmitter power (which will usually be many times
smaller due to the gain of the aerial).
