My public interest comment was more for a good slogan than for a suit.  
The act itself prohibits interference and prohibits the commission from 
making rules to the contrary.

The Communications Act of 1934-Title III Part one:

It is the purpose of this Act, among other things, to maintain the 
controls of the United States over all the channels of radio 
transmission; and to provide for the use of such channels, not the 
ownership thereof, by persons for limited periods of time, under 
licenses granted by the Federal authority, and no such license shall be 
construed to create any right, beyond the terms, conditions, and periods 
of license.  _No person shall use or operate any apparatus_ for the 
transmission of energy or communications or signals by radio (d) within 
any State when the effects of such use extend beyond the borders of said 
State, or _when interference is caused by such use or operations with 
the transmission of such energy, communications, or signals_ from within 
said state to any place beyond its borders to any place within said 
State or with the transmission  or reception of communications or 
signals from and/or to places beyond the borders of said State

Sec. 303 [U.S.C 303] Except as otherwise provided in this Act the 
Commission from time to time, as public convenience, interest, or 
necessity requires shall--

(f) make such regulations not inconsistent with the law as it may deem 
necessary to prevent interference between stations and to carry out 
provisions of this Act: /Provided, however, /that changes in the 
frequencies, authorized power, or in the times of operation of any 
station, shall not be made without the consent of the station licensee 
unless the Commission shall determine that such changes will promote 
public convenience or interest or will serve public necessity, or the 
provisions of this act will be more fully complied with;

and so on and so on..
