PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is calling for Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog to retire and be replaced with an animatronic version ahead of Groundhog Day 2020. The association says keeping the animal all year in a glass habitat is cruel as is dragging the animal out of hibernation to face a barrage of cameras. Would you rather see a robot groundhog as a harbinger of Spring?

Punxsutawney Phil Goes Animatronic? (10 p.m.)

NightSide focuses on a wide variety of issues, political, economic and social. Rea believes that talk radio is the best way for people to communicate their opinions and ideas on what he calls “North America’s Virtual Back Porch.” Rea encourages challenging conversations and diverse ideas combined with respect and tolerance for the opinion of others. But don’t think for a moment that NightSide is anything but provocative, always interesting and at times, passionate and emotional. 642427
