World's Longest Live TV Program

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-think-I've-seen-this-episode dept.

FaxeTheCat writes "The Norwegian Public broadcaster is doing a five-and-a-half-day, around-the-clock broadcast from the coastal liner 'Hurtigruten.' Not only is this (according to them) the world's longest direct TV broadcast, the material will be made available as torrents with a Creative Commons license, and there is a 'mashup' competition. Not your average action show, but if you like fjords and mountains and a slow pace, this may be just the thing for you."

    ... Having been "watching" an iceberg for 6 months now, I'm moving out of the at-risk area. Mosto f the people I know are in a "we can move given a week's notice" situation. It looks as if the big berg is going to get stuck on the coast and melt.

    But it's interesting.
