Sony = PAL HDV @ 50i
Canon = PAL @ 25p
GoPros = PAL @ 25p
All sound about right?
Because going from HD to SD isn't an even conversion, you'll need to deinterlace the 50i footage before resizing to SD.
I would simply use an HD timeline at 25p, deinterlace the Sony footage and then downconvert to standard definition on export, and let that conversion handle the re-interlacing.
I don't understand what you mean when you say you want to avoid DV. Is the broadcaster looking for delivery on DV tape and you don't want to use a DV tape deck?
You'll need to adhere to the delivery specifications of the broadcaster/network. If you know they run on Avid, offer to deliver with an Avid encoded file, you can get the codecs here and they are compatible with Premiere when exporting to MOV
