Millions watch the live broadcast 24 hours

Every spring over the past six years, millions of people are fighting around the clock from the clock in a move in northern Sweden.

The “great migration” follow the animals swimming across the Angerman River and makes their annual journey towards the most green summer pastures.

This year’s program started 24 hours of SVT Play, the broadcasting platform for Sweden National broadcaster, on Tuesday – a week before the timeline due to the warmer weather in April.

The broadcast has become a “slow TV” phenomenon, as it sows a sincere mass base since its inception in 2019.

Cait Borjsson, 60, who has been linked to the annual live broadcast since it stumbled during the Covid-19 pandemic, said her TV has lasted for 16 consecutive hours since it started on Tuesday.

“It is incredible,” she said. “There are natural sounds for birds, winds and trees. It gives you a feeling that you are in nature even if they are not.”

For Cait, watching immigration has become an annual tradition, to the extent that it reserves time to work to completely immerse itself in the broadcast for three weeks.

She said that the current is “like treatment” that helped her anxiety and panic.

It is not alone. SVT’s Livestream has a wide audience, including the Facebook group, which includes more than 77,000 members who meet to share their unforgettable moments and emotional reactions to broadcasting and their common magic of immigration.

A large part of their SVT journey is through the village of Colburg in northern Sweden, next to Angerman.

Goran Ericsson, Dean of Foreign Sciences at the University of Agricultural Sciences and Swedish Sciences, said that Moss returns to summer domains after assembled it in better temperature sites in the winter.

“From a historical point of view, this migration has been continuing since the Ice Age,” he said. “During the spring and summer seasons, mousse is spread evenly in the landscape.”

He added that about 95 % of mousse in northern Sweden migrate annually, adding that early migrations were not new with a lower snow on the ground.

“Early springs occur from time to time,” he said. “We are still within the natural range of contrast.”

He added that more than 30 cameras are used to pick up mousse while moving via the vast landscape.

The exhibition attracted nearly one million people during its launch in 2019, before obtaining nine million viewers in 2024.

In a fast-paced media environment, Minuan Truong, a researcher at the University of Swedish Agricultural Sciences, said that people have the experience of nature through this “slow TV” style-a type that is characterized by a long, incredible time.

“Many people say it is like an open window for the forest,” he says. “When you ask them if they prefer to get music in the background, or comment, they say they prefer just getting the wind, birds and trees.”

Sweden forests are home to about 300,000 mousse. The animal is known in the Scandinavian country as “the king of the forest.”
