Slow TV has become a familiar concept in Norway. It refers to a set of programmes produced by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) since 2009, starting out with a seven-hour broadcasting of the train-ride between Bergen and Oslo. The concept of slow TV and 'minute-by-minute' broadcasting was developed so that the event on television lasts as long as in real time. The idea has-been adopted by several broadcasters outside Norway, including BBC Four, YLE, SRF and Netflix. Roel Puijk explores different aspects of this phenomenon from the point of view of the producers and other actors involved in the production of the programme, from the perspective of the viewers, as well as how the programmes developed over time. He discusses theoretical concepts of slowness, innovation, genre, media event, media tourism and reception as well as local and national identity. Book jacket.
