If you are really in to pirate tv and want to do some stuff, just grab a webcam and a free account on youtube. With all the news stories surrounding youtube lately, it's the next big thing at the moment, where blogs were about 1.3 years ago.... I just started fiddling around and uploading there myself about a week or two ago... not much up yet, but lots of random junk I'm thinking about uploading.
I've got several digital cameras, a couple of webcams, a couple of voice recorders, an ancient analog camcorder, a lot of music, 3d and 2d animation and special effects software and a big amount of creativity. I also like to paint, draw, sing in the car, and do lots of other artsy fartsy things - lots of random weird things will go up on youtube in the future...
I guess KU uplinking would be out of the question unless you have a really big pocket check or do something crazy like find a reporter with one of the major news channels that's already uplinking and somehow hijack their truck and signal.... You have reporters all around the nation sending up newsfeeds. Doubt you'll find some reporter willing to help you out. I take no responsibility for your actions if you act on any of the suggesstions in this post.
Although, that being said, I do think it'd be pretty hillarious if there were a lot of reporter stalkers that did that sort of thing... sort of become a pavaratzi taking over the povaratzy....
