luchtdatum

Luchtdatum is a Dutch term that denotes the date on which a film, television program, or other audiovisual work is broadcast to the public or released on a platform. The term is a compound noun formed from the Dutch words for air (lucht) and date (datum), and corresponds to the English terms "air date" or "broadcast date."

In Dutch media practice, the luchtdatum refers to the first broadcast date on television or the date a title becomes available on streaming services. It appears in schedule listings, press releases, and metadata for catalogs and databases, helping audiences and professionals identify when content is aired or released.

Luchtdatum is related to, but not always identical with, premiere date or release date. In everyday language, "uitzenddatum" (broadcast date) or "uitzendingdatum" are common synonyms; "luchtdatum" tends to occur in archival, technical, or formal contexts.

Example: "De luchtdatum van de serie is vastgesteld op 15 april." See also: release date, premiere, broadcast date.
