I'd never heard of those, so I poked around some as well. Not sure it helps
any with your issue though.

Wikipedia has this for "broadcast calendar":
"The broadcast calendar is a standardized calendar used primarily for the
planning and purchase of radio and television programs and advertising.[1]
Every week in the broadcast calendar starts on a Monday and ends on a
Sunday, and every month has either four or five such weeks. Broadcast
calendar months thus have either 28 or 35 days."

and this:
"The key link between the broadcast and Gregorian calendars is that the
first week of every broadcast month always contains the Gregorian calendar
first of the month."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_calendar

The Wiki article for "iso week year" is somewhat confusing, but I think
this is the main idea:
"Weeks start with Monday and end on Sunday. Each week's year is the
Gregorian year in which the Thursday falls. The first week of the year,
hence, always contains 4 January. ISO week year numbering therefore usually
deviates by 1 from the Gregorian for some days close to 1 January."
