Contexto cultural

NRK (Norsk rikskringkasting) is the state-owned broadcaster. For decades, it was the only channel, creating a very strong shared culture of 'å se på tv'. 'Sakte-TV' (Slow TV) is a unique Norwegian genre where mundane events are broadcast in full length, like a 134-hour boat voyage. 'Fredagskos' is the tradition of eating tacos and watching a specific set of shows on Friday night. During Easter ('Påske'), Norwegians love to watch 'Påskekrim' (Easter crime thrillers) on TV.
