If there is a Freeview sort of service involved, there's no reason to assume you need multiple transmitters feeding a single antenna. In principle, markets could be assigned a contiguous set of frequencies, and a single broadband transmitter could be used to modulate X different 6 MHz channels. The total power would be the product of X times the effective power dedicated to each of the 6 MHz channels. If you had non-contiguous channels assignments, the single transmitter would have to be even broader band, so I would expect it to cost that much more. And then you'd want to transmitter to basically filter out any power it might emit on the unused frequency bands.
