Slow TV: Norway's long-journey broadcasts that became global viewing
Original: Slow TV, the Norwegian experiment that turned long journeys into global entertainment
Slow TV, the Norwegian broadcasting phenomenon that airs unedited, hours-long coverage of journeys such as train and ferry rides, is being credited with turning mundane travel into global entertainment. The format, pioneered by Norway's public broadcaster NRK with broadcasts like the Bergen Line train trip and coastal ferry voyages, drew huge domestic audiences and found viewers worldwide, inspiring similar slow broadcasts in other countries.
Why now: Renewed international interest in Norway's Slow TV experiment as a distinctive format for patient, ambient entertainment.
