Slow television




For amateur radio image transmission modes, see Slow-scan television.

Slow television, or slow TV (Norwegian: Sakte-TV), is a term used for a genre of "marathon" television coverage of an ordinary event in its complete length. Its name is derived both from the long endurance of the broadcast as well as from the natural slow pace of the television program's progress. It was popularised in the 2000s by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), beginning with the broadcast of a 7-hour train journey in 2009.[1][2]

Background


An early example of extended length cinematography was artist Andy Warhol's 1963 film Sleep, which showed poet John Giorno sleeping for five hours and twenty minutes.[2] Warhol's production process involved splicing and looping of film that he had originally shot in 3-4 minute lengths.[3] The concept was adapted to slow television on local TV broadcast in 1966 by WPIX, to VHS video tape in 1984 by the British company Video125, to satellite TV in 2003 by Bahn TV, and to live TV in 2011 by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK).[citation needed]


The latest evolution of the concept started with the NRK's coverage of the longest driver's eye view at that time, showing the complete 7-hour train ride along the Bergen Line (Norwegian: Bergensbanen) on 27 November 2009.[4] It was followed by the live coverage of the Hurtigruten ship MS Nordnorge during its 134-hour voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes starting on 16 June 2011.[5]


Both events received extensive attention in both Norwegian and foreign media, and were considered a great success with coverage numbers exceeding all expectations and record ratings for the NRK2 channel.[4][6]



Earlier examples



The Yule Log


Main article: The Yule Log

Beginning in Christmas 1966, New York City television station WPIX showed a film of a yule log burning in a fireplace, accompanied by classic Christmas music playing in the background and broadcast without commercial interruption. It does not, however, strictly qualify as slow television because it was made artificially long by looping the original film.



Night Walk/Night Moves/Night Ride


Main article: Night Walk (TV series)

Another early foray into slow television was Night Walk, Night Ride and Night Moves, a trio of late night programs which aired on the Global Television Network in Canada in the 1980s and early 1990s.[7] Airing in the overnight hours when most television stations would have been running a test pattern, the three programs each depicted a different first-person view of a walking or driving trip through a part of downtown Toronto, with a mellow jazz soundtrack.[7] Only two episodes of Night Walk and one episode of the others were ever actually produced, although they were rerun every night from their debut in 1986 to their cancellation in 1993.[7]



Fishcam


Main article: Fishcam


NRK (Norway)






Starting in 2009 NRK, Norway's public service broadcaster, has produced several slow television programs that have gained high ratings. Sakte-tv (Norwegian for Slow-TV) was named Word of the Year in Norway in 2013.[8]



2009: Bergensbanen – minutt for minutt




The Bergen Line with the principal stations used in the 2009 broadcast.


NRK's first foray into slow television was the program Bergensbanen minute by minute – train journey across Southern Norway, which depicted the 7-hour train journey from Bergen to Oslo along the Bergen Line (Norwegian: Bergensbanen). It was aired on NRK2 on 27 November 2009 and came to be described as "the iconic slow-TV program".[1] The event was planned as part of the 100-year anniversary of the existence of the Bergen Line. Four cameras were used to produce the documentary, showing both exterior and interior views, along with interviews with crew, train conductors, historians, past workers and passengers. The train went through 182 tunnels. Archival clips from the Bergen Railway's 100-year history were shown when the train passed through tunnels, to make the final show last exactly as long as the train trip. The show was first broadcast on 27 November 2009, while the recording had been done earlier during summer.


The program was followed by an average of 176,000 viewers, and 1,246,000 Norwegian viewers[4] (20% of the population)[2] were watching the event at least once during its screening time. The event received attention in both Norwegian and foreign media, and has received renewed attention and appreciation, mainly among its Norwegian followers.



2010: Bybanen i Bergen – minutt for minutt


The 28-minute presentation Bybanen i Bergen – minutt for minutt showed a trip on the Bergen Light Rail from Nesttun to Bergen, shortly after the opening of the line in June 2010.[9]

It was broadcast on NRK1 on 5 September at 08.05, lasting 58 minutes, and around 500,000 viewers watched the entire program, for a market share of 40%.[11][12]

The broadcast was shown live on NRK2 in Norway, and on the internet for international viewers and Norwegians abroad, available in Norwegian[15] and English.[16] The broadcast received greater attention and popularity than the previous Bergensbanen minutt for minutt show, both in media and by viewers.[1][17]


During the weekend of 17–19 June 2011, 2,542,000 people, or approximately half the Norwegian population, visited the live broadcast. At its peak, 692,000 people followed the broadcast at eleven forty-five Sunday night, as the boat was heading into the Trollfjord in Lofoten. The broadcast has set a world record as being the world's longest live television documentary and is in the Guinness Book of Records.[18] The previous record was 13 hours against their 134 hours.[19]
