As more regions move to the District system it would be cool to see more of the District Championships along with the World Championships get productions done like this, even if it's an after-the-fact thing that gets rebroadcasted a month later. Given the number of Regionals and varying quality of play at them it wouldn't make sense to try to do this at every event, but being able to highlight the best of the best with elimination matches from these Championship events would make for good TV. It's not really any different than ESPN highlighting significant high school football games periodically.
Even if you can't get live coverage on ESPN, maybe something like PBS affiliates would do it.

This was shown after the competition on the local cable sports channel. They were edited by professionals here in KC.
