I guess there are more simple ways to do that:

1) I assume you have a dedicated 'Advert Slot' for e.g. Saturday at 09:00:00; and another one for Saturday at 10:00:00 etc.?
If yes, you just need to assign your campaign to the 18 given advert slots and you are done!
Give the campaign a Start and End date accordingly and this campaign will only be schedule for it's Start and End Date!

If you do not have dedicated Advert Slots for each hour you can use this approach:


2) Right-Click on the Campaign and 'Dynamic Overlay Assigtnement'...

In the 'Dynamic Overlay Assignment' dialog you might specify the following (e.g. for the "Saturday 09:00:00" entry):
- Start Date: 01-12-2014
- End Date: 01-12-2015.
Filters:
- From Time: 08:59:00
- To Time: 09:01:00
- Day of Week: Saturday
- Playouts per Day: 1
Then click on the 'Add' button...
The list below should now contain 365 entries! All scheduling for Saturday 09:00:00...

You can now repeat this 18 times and just modify you 'Filter' (From Time, To Time and Day of Week) accordingly!
Always press the 'Add' button!
Finally you should have assigned 18 times 365 overlays - just as above.

In both cases you just assign it 18 times - for each of your planned schedule times....so no 365 copies to do!
