PBS...
You forgot PBS... The British version of Robot Wars was on PBS before any of the majors picked up on the robotics as a spectator sport. What about the web casts? They're not intened solely for FIRST people and the potential audience may not be as big as the networks, but they're global. While the major networks are tempting, don't forget that they are after market share (and advertising $$$). It makes crazy things happen in the college sports that are televised so dream, but be careful what you wish for.
(Hey.. will there be action figures of FIRST robots??? How about MENTOR action figures??? Cool!!!)
