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 would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“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)
