"All Clear/Situation Over" alerts are sent out so that people stop calling in with their various tips. Something like an Amber Alert generates A LOT of work for PD/PSAP's in the area that it's in effect for, as many people call in everything they can remember or think or might possibly maybe somehow in some slim random manner may be related. The All Clear puts an end to the majority of these.
It's pushed out in the same manner as the original warning so that it reaches the same audience reached before, and doesn't "miss" anyone.
The alerts are sent out when they are received, so whatever time that is, regardless of what the public is 'usually' doing at that time.
