Calendar - Social Media (Month and Week View Updates)

We are looking for some more advanced functionality in the Calendar view.

1. Channels - Our social team uses the calendar view (particularly the Month and Week view) often, and they want to see what channels one post is going to, which they indicate by using a "Channel" custom field. When you use the Month and Week view, it only shows one tasks and then only has one color associated to it. I'd like to see that task be able to either show the custom field data, or have all the colors show, or show the task multiple times. I've provided a screenshot of the current state. You can see that the tasks are only showing one color, but it is posted on multiple channels. We have used dashboards and reports to work around this but would love to see a calendar view with this. 

2.  Additionally, we have a "Publish Date" custom field, and we aren't able to use that as the date on the Calendar. There's another post on this, but this would be extremely helpful.
