Cron job to run a php script for 24 hours then stop it

Is it possible with cron tab(job) to run .php script every sunday at 0:01h till 23:59h? The main idea is at Sunday 0:01h to run this script which will place some text on the websait. This text will stay there for 24 hours and at 23:59h to stop the script and hide the text? Any ideas how can do this?

1 0 * * 0     /usr/bin/php myScriptThatCreatesContent.php

See Cron format reference here, taking into account that most implementations only use 5 fields (year not supported).

The formats above specify minutes and hour and day-of-week, which can occur on any day of month in any month (the 2 stars). The 0 at the end is the first day of the week, which is Sunday for crons.
