EWTN is instrumental to the implementation of Summorum Pontificum.

Indeed it is.

To date, I believe, the three indult masses allowed in Bishop Baker's diocese are all Sunday afternoon liturgies. This is better than an outright stonewalling, but not much. People committed to the spirituality of the 1962 missal take the eucharistic fast seriously. Asking them to put off Sunday Mass until an untraditional and inconvenient hour, denying themselves meanwhile the innocent pleasure of a little breakfast and a cup of coffee, is insensitive to a point approaching insult. I sincerely hope I'm wrong about Bishop Baker, but this meagre provision for traditionalists -- including some who may be struggling to remain in communion with their bishop -- strikes me as decidedly second-class.

Does the bishop determine the time of an Indult Mass?

I'm not defending him but I know in our diocese that the priests pick the Mass time and the bishop wouldn't become involved unless the laity started writing letters. I would imagine that the priests who do the Latin Mass already have a full slate of Masses at their parishes and choose to add the Latin Mass. IOW, they are dedicated and so take on the extra duty but they still have the Masses they did before and the Latin Masses end up being at a time convenient to the priest.
