Yeah, your bug is on the wiki. Quote: "The Minuteman in charge of broadcasting Radio Freedom may complain that the transmitter is not being powered despite having power, usually after starting the Old Guns quest. This is accordingly due to the Minuteman becoming hostile to Sarge in the Castle tunnels and so should be able to be prevented by eliminating Sarge before Old Guns. Otherwise, this prevents use of Radio Freedom."
Sounds like the only option for you, since you're on console, is to simply load an earlier save.
*edit* There's also this http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Radio_Freedom#Bugs
Have you tried building a generator and hooking it up to the transmitter?
