Episode Air dates for other countries

Hey Travis,
I saw your post on the new localization progress you've made on the site. That is great! and reminded me of feature I'd love to see in the API. A hugely requested feature for my app is show dates for their country, but shows in different countries air at different times. Like Arrow on The CW airs a week later I've heard in the UK, and UK shows air differently in the US. Since these dates are more than just a time zone shift in difference, and air on different networks, it would be great to allow people to contribute and add airdates for different countries for episodes and then access from the API.

Hey Maximilian,
Yes, I remember talking with the dev of SeriesGuide about this. I am definitely taking us in that direction and it is only a matter of time before I get there. Having said that, there's still lots of things on my plate so I don't have a very accurate ETA right now.

No problem! TVDB said they won't implement this, so if you do it will definitely be a big plus. I know many users of my app would help fill in the info and would love to have that info available.
