Masters Games Live on Chess.com

I enjoy watching live games, but the fatured GM and IM games always seem to be blitz or bullet games.  Is there a different place to find these featured players' games that are slow enought to actually enjoy (e.g. 10 or 15 minutes)?

They have broadcast many slow chess tournaments in the past.

Looking at the upcoming Chess.com TV schedule:

The Qatar masters tournament broadcasts start on December 20th. Those are 5 hour broadcasts of games with a 40/90 time control.

Slow enough?

They don't play slow chess on the internet understandably..

Sorry, I was unclear in my question.  I am talking about games at the "Live Chess" link on this site that can be watched at any time.  They all seem to be either 5/0, 3/0, or 1/0 games.  Although 15/10, 30/0, and 45/45 games are clearly an option, I never see any Masters-level games available to watch.  And the simple answer might be that Masters-level players at this site don't care to play those longer games.

That might be it. I just checked and there are a fair number of 45 45 games going on right now.  You could see what kind of play it would take to get your live standard rating above 1100.

You could observe the pace that these players use. You could possibly spot things that the players will never notice.
