Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV) (pronounced [ˈriːcɪsˌuːtvar̥pɪð] or [ˈruːv]) (English: 'The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service') is Iceland's national public-service broadcasting organization.

Operating from studios in the country's capital, Reykjavík, as well as regional centres around the country, the service broadcasts a variety of general programming to a wide audience across the whole country via radio channels Rás 1 and Rás 2, and one television channel.

RÚV began radio broadcasting in 1930 and its first television transmissions were made in 1966. In both cases coverage quickly reached nearly every household in Iceland. RÚV is funded by a television licence fee collected from every income tax payer, as well as advertising revenue. RÚV has been a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union since 1956.

Since 1986, the year in which its monopoly as the only permitted domestic broadcaster was ended, RÚV has faced competition from a number of private broadcasting companies, most notably the 365 corporation.

    Rearview

    Ohhh.. Ohh..
    I use to tell myself that you would wait
    I borrowed time for two and I twisted fate
    I left us floating in the air for wind to hold on to
    It let me down it let you go
    I drive around like everything's okay
    And I feel the lightening in our own mistakes
    And I was gonna tell you
    I wish all our wrongs could be right
    I'm too late
    I looked in my rearview
    And now I don't see you
    Sometimes the things you want are hard to take
    Sometimes the ones you love are risks you don't make, yeah
    The dust has settled into nothingness
    And I yearn for yesterday
    Just look around
    I'm still the same
    I drive around like everything's okay
    Like everything's okay
    And I feel the lightening in our own mistakes
    And I was gonna tell you
    I wish all our wrongs could be right
    I'm too late
    I looked in my rearview
    And now I don't see you
    So many things that we didn't say
    So many reasons the world's not the same
    Oh, it's not the same
    I drive around like nothing's here has changed
    But I know the sky has one more cloud to break
    And I was gonna tell you
    I wish all our wrongs could be right
    I'm too late
    I looked in my rearview
    And now I don't see you
    I said I
    I drive and everything has changed
    Ohh..
    And I feel the lightening it's in my own mistakes
    And I was gonna tell you
    I wish all our wrongs could be right
    I'm too late
    I looked in my rearview
    And now I don't see you
    I used to tell myself
    That you
