Fields!StartTime.Value.ToString() + " PM - "  +

Here is one possible way of achieving this with the help of Custom code in SSRS. Following example doesn't go into the details of creating SSRS reports but should give an idea of how the time formatting can be achieved within SSRS.

Step-by-step process:

Create a table named dbo.Timespans using the script provided under SQL Scripts. Populate it with some data as shown in screenshot #1.
Create an SSRS report and use the table dbo.Timespans as the data source. Refer screenshot #2.
Click on the Report menu and select Report Properties. Select the Code tab on the left section.
Paste the code given under SSRS Custom code section in the Custom code textbox. Click OK. This code takes a timeSpan value and format string. It will then format the time data and return as a string. Refer screenshot #3.
Right-click on the time column and select Expression... Paste the expression =Code.FormatTimeSpan(Fields!StartTime.Value, "hh:mm tt") + " - " + Code.FormatTimeSpan(Fields!EndTime.Value, "hh:mm tt") in the Set expression for: Value textbox. Refer screenshots #4 and #5.
Screenshot #6 shows execution of the report.

Hope that helps.

SQL Scripts:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Timespans](
    [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [StartTime] [time](7) NULL,
    [EndTime] [time](7) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Timespans] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id] ASC)) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

SSRS Custom Code:

public function FormatTimeSpan(timeSpanValue as TimeSpan, format as string) as string
    Dim dateValue as DateTime
    dateValue = new DateTime(timeSpanValue.Ticks)
    return dateValue.ToString(format)
end function
