That's the correct usage.

The field in the program table is actually called "airdate" which
is misleading but that is what it was named from the early XMLTV
data. Internally it is a QString "year" in ProgramInfo objects
and is used to store the year of release for a film. It may have
no meaning for any other type of program other than a movie.
