How this got to international media I don’t know, but it did: > **[Bark Up or Down? Firewood Splits Norwegians (Published 2013)](https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/20/world/europe/in-norway-tv-program-on-firewood-elicits-passions.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1)** > > A TV program about firewood, mostly showing a fireplace in use, has aroused passions in Norway. This is not a joke. This thing did air on license-paid TV, which basically takes a yearly fee from anyone owning a TV-receiver or a radio. For me, it’s the only way to experience TV without ads and terrible reality-shows. The English version of the book is on its way I think. Fun-fact: the same TV-station has done several other “minute-by-minute” marathons. Two about some long train-lines, but most remarkably the one about “Hurtigruta”, a week-long cruise along the Norwegian coast (Yes, multi-camera streaming and other content from a boat for 5 whole days. 134 hours). To my knowledge, that specific marathon was also broadcast on subways in South Korea. The recordings from the camera pointing forward is released under a creative commons-license and should be availiable for download somewhere (if you happen to be interested) ---
