filming quality for broadcast

I'm working on my first documentary. It mainly consists of interviews done with a dvx100a, and a pd-150 and wireless mic's. To make the footage consistent looking, I've filmed it all in straight video mode. The footage looks fine so far. However, I'm wondering if I'm missing something. What I mean by that is there a certain quality setting--sound, video...etc.-that needs to be met for broadcast that I may be missing? Or will straight video mode--even though it's not as good ad the 24p mode--and the wireless mic give me sufficient quality. I'm afraid I'll hand it off to the editor and he'll tell me I forgot to put it on a necessary setting.

thanks,
jerry
 
Just make sure you're audio is set to 48k 16bit. Aside from that, there really isn't anything you can do to make it "Broadcast quality" aside from making sure you're properly exposed, and your audio levels aren't too hot.
