Grand Weekend
In 2011, Eagle Radio launched the fifth season of the ever-popular "Grand Weekend" competition. The mechanic involves a featured musical artist who has songs played at 9am, 12 midday and 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. Listeners are encouraged to call in to register their participation. Then, on Monday morning at 07:45 as part of the breakfast show, Peter Gordon rings one of the registered listeners who must answer the call by saying the name of the Grand Weekend artist. If they do they win GBP 1000.

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or weekend:
“One of my playmates, who was apprenticed to a printer, and was somewhat of a wag, asked his master one afternoon if he might go a-fishing, and his master consented. He was gone three months. When he came back, he said that he had been to the Grand Banks, and went to setting type again as if only an afternoon had intervened.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Weekend planning is a prime time to apply the Deathbed Priority Test: On your deathbed, will you wish you’d spent more prime weekend hours grocery shopping or walking in the woods with your kids?”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
