    In Washington DC:
    St Mary Mother of God. 9:00 am.
    Not considered prime time by the original poster, but I've heard from quite a few parents that 9 am is better for the little ones than the late morning or noonish Mass times. Some of them drive a long distance to attend this Mass. BTW, I understand St Mary's started offering the TLM after the 1984 indult.

    For the wider metropolitan Washington area, here's a listing for this coming Sunday from the DC Latin Mass Blog .
    SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11
    Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost
    ◾7:00 am: Mass, St. Michael Church, Annandale
    ◾8:00 am: Missa Cantata, Silver Spring TLM Congregation
    ◾9:00 am: Low Mass, St. Mary Mother of God Church, Washington
    ◾10:30 am: Missa Cantata, St. Francis de Sales Church, Washington
    ◾10:30 am: Low Mass, St. John the Apostle Church, Leesburg, Va. (Chapel)
    ◾11:00 am: Low Mass, St. Francis de Sales Church, Benedict, Md.
    ◾11:30 am: Missa Solemnis, St. Alphonsus Church, Baltimore
    ◾Noon: Missa Cantata, St. John the Beloved Church, McLean
    ◾12:30 pm: Mass, St. Lawrence the Martyr Church, Alexandria
    ◾12:30 pm: Mass, Holy Trinity Church, Gainesville, Va.
    ◾5:00 pm: Missa Solemnis, St. Mary Mother of God Church, Washington

    These are all (arch)diocesan churches. The 5:00 pm Solemn High happens once a month.

    Who says "prime time" is only before noon.

    The tradition of the Church that Mass is celebrated principally in the morning and with fasting that makes afternoon Communion difficult.

    True in the east - I am an easterner myself and am familiar with this. True once upon a time in the Latin Church but not true since the Vatican II reforms. We all know what happened to fasting. I think it is down to an hour these days. What is true today is the scheduling of multiple masses all morning and even into afternoon and evening in large parishes. Eastern and former Latin disciplines would be nearly impossible in the current western context.
