What which time

At which time of the day do you usually watch it? What time refers to the time expressions such as "in the morning, at night" etc. We can also ask "what time in the morning do you feel this backache heavily"? Which time refers to a choice as shown below.

What time in the morning do you feel this backache? What time at night do you feel it? Which time do you think it is worse at 8.

In declarative sentences the previous mention--the antecedent--must occur within the same sentence with the relative pronoun.

In trillions of written sentences, I'm sure there are exceptions. I'm referring to standard practice and grammar. The pronoun this is not a relative pronoun and behaves much differently. It has a special property not shared with relative pronouns. It is a deictic word whose properties are inferred from context. Such a word may or may not have an immediate antecedent in the same sentence.

Look at the word it in the second sentence of this paragraph. It is a deictic word. Look at the word this two sentences back describing paragraph. These pronouns depend on outside information to tell us who are us? They can start a sentence without an antecedent. Relative pronouns have much more stringent limits on their use.

But didn't you say that which in 'after which time' isn't a pronoun but an adjective?
