Útvarp Saga

Útvarp Saga is the most opened of the 7 stations in Iceland listed here, which is why it is the station the country page offers first. The rest of that page is the ordering below it.

At 23 recorded opens, Útvarp Saga is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

Nothing else in Iceland's listing leads with news talk. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

Worldwide it ranks 4 among 30 news talk entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

Its audio comes straight from stream.utvarpsaga.is, an address unique to this entry in Iceland's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.

Their site is utvarpsaga.is, a domain registered in Iceland. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
