Television at the speed of life.
Longform videos meant to be played for ambience: crackling fireplaces, train rides, sandy beaches, shots of the earth from space and knitting.
Slow TV, is a term used for a genre of "marathon" TV coverage of an ordinary event in its complete length. It was popularized in the 2000s by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), beginning with the broadcast of a 7-hour train journey in 2009.

It is surprising, then, to find a challenge to this ancient premise arriving in a novel entertainment form—suddenly everywhere—known as 'slow TV.'"
