Feature on The Today Show about Slow TV

In January 2014, The Today Show - a bastion of US breakfast television since 1952 (31 years before any dedicated breakfast programming arrived in the UK) aired a short two and a half minute package to herald the arrival of Slow Television in the USA. Well, at least in terms of a format purchase by a production company. A short summary of Slow TV's journey in Norway with some soundbites of CEO of California based LMNO Productions, Eric Schotz. His most memorable line "We bought a format called Slow TV from Norway. And it was the most unique, dumbest, most ridiculous idea I've ever seen in my life. And I said, 'I have to have it." You can see the feature here.
