What Hallmark Movies Are On Today? Betty White Tribute Schedule 2022
While Jan. 17 happens to also be Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year, and will appropriately be honored to celebrate one of the biggest icons of the Civil Rights Movement, Hallmark Channel is taking a different approach this year, by honoring an icon from the acting industry—Betty White.
While many will be off from work and school today because of the annual holiday celebrating Dr. King, the network is airing a special slate of programming to honor the memory of White, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday today, but passed away on Dec. 31, 2021.
While a slate of movies the network is known for would usually air for most of the day, allowing those using their day off to stay cozy on their couch and watch as much romance as possible, this special slate of programming will feature a marathon of “Golden Girls” episodes, honoring White and her former co-stars, Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur and Rue McLanahan, who passed away in 2008, 2009 and 2010. In addition, they will have a special rebroadcast of the 2011 film White starred in for the network.
