This TV channel is celebrating Groundhog Day in a hilarious way
Forget, "What if there is no tomorrow?"
What if there is nothing else on television?
In honour of Groundhog Day, a UK cable channel has cleared their schedule to pay homage to the 1993 Bill Murray classic of the same name. In the film, Murray plays arrogant weatherman Phil Connors. He's sent to cover the annual event where Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog makes a prediction on if winter will continue, but Connors gets stuck in a loop where he re-lives the day over and over and dark comedy ensues.
Sky Cinema Comedy shared their revised schedule on Twitter, and it's impressive in its repetition.

Well played, Sky Cinema, well played.
If you're keen to see what the groundhog will predict IRL, the legendary critter is set to come out of his burrow at 7:25 a.m. ET on Friday. There's a livestream here, or you can follow the action from his official "Inner Circle" via Instagram or Twitter.
