Do you have some kind of insight into where the bulk of your audience 
comes from and how their schedule is? Then focus on them.

For me, I had put my MoinSound Studio Sessions series onto a Saturday 
1700 GMT, because that's 0900 US West Coast (i.e. not too early), before 
the evening hours in the UK/Western Europe, and if somebody in Asia 
really wants to catch it, he can do so without having to get up at 0600 
on a Sunday or so.

Weekend days have the advantage that the majority of people with typical 
day jobs are (or can be) free most of the day, while the evening hours 
are usually kept for something else. This may be totally different for 
gigging musicians, who (I suppose) play in the later evening all through 
the night and would have a hard time catching a show Saturday in the 
morning...

So does my approach work? Probably not, hardly anyone ever drops by.
