Having tried this stuff with one of my own hobbies (Hardball - bbguns) on national and local TV (Denmark) - I think I would like to give you my 2 cents.

Consider it like a normal promotion - target group and all that stuff. So you know which topics you would like to talk about. Of course the reporter probably want to talk about something completely different - but if you can have just a little influence on it... you get more out of it. Of course don't answer something completely different than what you are asked for.

When my team went on national TV - the vice captian was very keen on explaining how expensive the hobby was and how much he had paid for his equipment. NOT very smart - who the f*** is going to start a sport that cost 5000 $ +? Instead of focusing on how cheap it could be done! Be aware of topics to avoid or handle with care too.
