RÚV2

RÚV2 is the second television channel operated by Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV), Iceland's national public broadcaster. Launched in 2008, RÚV2 was initially conceived as a complementary channel to RÚV's main service, RÚV1. Its programming often focused on documentaries, cultural content, children's programming, and sports, aiming to provide a broader range of viewing options for the Icelandic public.

Over time, the specific programming strategy of RÚV2 has evolved. It has served as a platform for broadcasting events that might not fit the main channel's schedule, such as extended sports coverage, live parliamentary sessions, and specialized cultural events. The channel has also been used to air content in different languages, including subtitled foreign films and series, or reruns of popular RÚV productions. RÚV2's broadcasting hours can vary, and its content is often available for streaming on RÚV's digital platform. As a public service broadcaster, RÚV2 aims to enrich the Icelandic media landscape by offering diverse and high-quality programming that caters to specific interests and demographics.
