Slow television

Slow television is a genre of marathon coverage that broadcasts an ordinary event in its full length, popularised by Norway's public broadcaster NRK beginning with a seven-hour train journey on 27 November 2009. NRK followed with live coverage of the Hurtigruten ship MS Nordnorge on a 134-hour voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes starting 16 June 2011, which the article says set a Guinness record as the world's longest live television documentary. The article also lists many later NRK programmes, including National Wood Night in 2013, which drew nearly a million viewers, and Hymnal – cover to cover in 2014, which drew 2.2 million viewers at some point.
