fix django naive datetime warnings

Django uses the warnings lib to log a warning message on every page load due to the use of naive datetimes in the BroadcastManager. This PR replaces the uses of datetime.now() with Django's timezone.now(), which makes use of the timezone configured in the Django settings module(s).
