I would like to leave open the possibility of teaching and most colleges (90%) would like a masters from a regionally accredited institution. Are there any that offer an interdisciplinary degree? I was thinking something in Media Broadcasting or Media Marketing/Advertising.

The biggest problem you will likely have here is not NA vs RA, but the fact that most masters require the bulk of your work to be done in residence at their college....but again Amberton and AMU/APU are good bets with both accepting around 12 credits in transfer.
I have no idea on any media related degree's as such. I suspect the unique nature of such a program would drive the cost up considerably. The program I am in is cheap (part time) at around $7K, Master of Arts Interdisciplinary Studies...but we are talking Writing/Psych/Criminal Justice/History/etc... WNMU is cheap for out of staters if you take less than 2 courses/semester.

Your idea has merit...but I don't believe you will find an easy way to pull it off. I would pick an affordable RA option and get to work....if fact thats what i did.
