ICAL feed has both UTC and local times

My ical feed has both UTC and local times. Is this intentional? I recently disabled and then enabled the setting: "Display airdates on the calendar and schedule in your local timezone." I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Ical snippet:

It's funny that you noticed :) It's because of a recent architecture change that hasn't propagated through all caching layers yet.

Both forms are correct though, they're different ways to express the same result, so to an iCal client it should be all the same. Or are you seeing any issues as a result of this?

No problem. I will update Mythrecmaze if the UTC times remain.

Yeah, it should shortly propagate to UTC stamps for all shows, though for forward compatibility it's best if you follow the standard and accept any valid ISO 8601 timestamp.
