I don't remember anymore what the plex options do, but they were added upon user request.
They are for being able to use the xml file easier in the server environment, not to manipulate data.
If we want to calculate original air dates for every single news show based on their airing time, then we need a new datacenter only for that task.
That is not covered with the few bucks you pay, sorry
We have around 8000 channels, which all have some kind of news shows 10-20 times a day. And also how would we know which one is news and which one isn't?
