I have to agree with the broadcasters here. A couple microphones doesn't present the kind of threat that thousands of unlicensed devices would create.
But that's it - it's not just "a couple of microphones". There are well over 100K unlicensed wireless microphones, operating as "white space" devices, albeit illegally. They serve as an Existence Proof that white space devices can be sucessfully deployed. If white space devices were going to cause a big problem, we'd be seeing some indication of it now. But the sky hasn't fallen, contrary to the dire predictions of the broadcasters (who don't want competition for eyeballs) and the wireless microphone vendors (who are used to having the white space all to themselves, on an illegal basis).

Wireless microphones are very low power (ca. 10 > 100 milliWatts)on very narrow bands. The White Space Devices proposed use much more power (250 mW or more) and they produce a wideband envelope. When wireless mics are "slotted" into existing occupied TV channels, they use intercarrier spaces and do not interfere. Analog FM and wideband digital are apples and oranges.
