    Best time for a live show

    Hi everyone...

    What is the best time for a live show? I do some live and some pre-produced shows. The one live show I do will get over 10,000 Youtube views or Downloads within about a week. I also get 10 or more emails a day from viewers of the show. But I am having an issue getting any live interaction in the chat room.

    The show is about making things with small processors like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. So I do it live every Tuesday evening at 7 EST thinking that most people that would be interested are hobbyists and would watch when they are home.

    So I am just curious what everyone has found is the best time to get an angaged live audience.

    I have asked this question many times. I think 6-8pm ET would be a sweet spot. A

    Maybe it is just the demographic for this audience does not want to be engaged I will keep trying at this same time.

    Some of the bigger internet shows that i know of broadcast during the day. Twit for example has a peak audience at around 2pm ET. have you considered broadcasting at that hour?

    I have to agree with Andrew, I think 6-8pm EST is a great time to do a show.

    I guess I could do a strawpole of the viewers to see what time they would want to watch.

    I find it interesting that there aren't more morning shows on the internet. Isn't the morning drive time the best time to do a show 6-10am

    Hello everyone. Still new here so please excuse me if I ask a stupid question. Why does the time matter if you are recording a podcast? Does this topic only apply to live broadcasters?

    We do record and distribute but having a live audience to interact with is great while recording. It helps to build an interactive audience if you can get live viewers.
