Perhaps I can help ...
In Spain we say: "Hoy es domingo, 24 de julio."
But we also say: "Hoy es el 24 de julio."
So we don't use "el" when we say the day of the week followed by the date.
As I said, though, this is how it is said in Spain. Just as there are differences between British and American ways of saying and writing the date - '30th June 2011' versus 'June 30th, 2011', for example - there are probably differences between Spanish-speaking countries as well.
