RÚV

Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV) is Iceland's national public-service broadcasting organization, founded in 1930, operating television, radio, and online services from its headquarters in Reykjavík. It broadcasts two linear TV channels (RÚV and RÚV 2), three radio stations (Rás 1, Rás 2, and Rondó), and an online news service that ranks as the fourth most visited website in Iceland. As a state-owned public broadcaster, RÚV is mandated to promote the Icelandic language, cultural heritage, and democratic values, and has been a full member of the European Broadcasting Union since 1956. RÚV also co-produces original Icelandic drama series and is responsible for selecting Iceland's entries to the Eurovision Song Contest.
