Further clarification on this. After additional experimenting, the dayparting dialog will successfully accept 00:00:00 (Midnight) as the start time, but will not accept that as the end time. So to get a cart to play in the non-safe-harbor hours, requires 2 cuts, one dayparted from 22:00:00 until 23:59:59, and a second cut from 00:00:00 to 06:00:00.
With those parameters, cuts play just as Wayne and Geoff describe. It's amazing how it does pick the actively dayparted cut when that cart is scheduled between 10:00pm and 6:00am. I was afraid it would randomly pick cuts based on the weight assigned and perhaps pick one that was outside the active time period, but it chooses whichever one is okay to play for the time period in question. However, I did not experiment with weights other than 1--but cannot imagine and instance where anyone would use something other than 1. Nevertheless, I still agree with Cowboy that 22:00 to 06:00 should be a workable single dayparting entry since we are faced with the FCC's separation of the day into the 2 divisions. It will be a lot of work to copy cuts and daypart each separately, instead of just setting one time period for non-safe-harbor hours (which crosses Midnight) with a single entry for a single cut cart. --Chuck W.
