For not to be confused with the radio breakfast programme on [BBC World Service](/source/BBC_World_Service) and [BBC Radio 4](/source/BBC_Radio_4), see [Weekend](/source/Weekend). ***Weekend*** is a British lifestyle show that aired on [ITV](/source/ITV_(TV_network)) from 26 April 2014 to 3 September 2017 and was presented by [Aled Jones](/source/Aled_Jones). On 22 March 2018 ITV announced that the show had been cancelled. ## Format *Weekend* featured a mixture of chat and musical guests.[1] [Aled Jones](/source/Aled_Jones) presented the programme on Saturday and Sunday mornings.[2] Of this appointment, Jones said "What more can I ask for than a mix of all of the things I love! It's a dream come true to present a show I've always wanted to watch and I can't wait to get started". The show also had a feature on people with strange talents or hobbies, called 'We're Talking in the Air', a pun on "[Walking in the Air](/source/Walking_in_the_Air)", a song famously covered by Jones.
