Remember that you are the expert. You can get on there and tell them that  
breastmilk is the covering of the moon, not blue cheese, and people will believe 
 it! ( well not really but hey, it helps calm the nerves to think of funny  
stuff).
But you are the expert. Write down some suggested questions for the  
interviewer to ask because they don't always know what to ask. They suggest  about 5 
questions. And then write down the key points that you want the audience  to 
come away with. Go in with the idea that you are just going to discuss these  
points like you would with a new acquaintance.
It may help to have your makeup down the day before at a makeup counter so  
you can pick up some points there if you are not used to doing makeup. 
I have done many, many local TV interviews. The interviewer is the one who  
the camera is going to focus on to make look good. Be sure your hair is done 
all  the way around in case they do shots of you from the rear!! Don't wear  
prints.
Smile, sit up straight,  cross your legs at the ankles if in a sitting  room 
setting. look proud and confident. You will do a great job. You're the  expert!
