An accent on "Mártes?"

I was just watching Telemundo Chicago (a local Spanish TV station) to get used to hearing Spanish. When they got to the weather forcast, the screen for tomorrow (Tuesday) had "MÁRTES" at the top, with an accent on the letter "Á."
I searched the dictionary and forums, and found nothing. So, what's with the accent? Is there a weird rule I should know about?

I suppose that they make typos just like anyone else. Martes is llana o grave which places the accent (stress) on the first syllable of the word (mar). It would need no accent mark to place the stress there.
