Warming up to Iceland

Iceland may be off the beaten track for most, but its national public broadcaster makes sure the country's 95,000 TV households stay in touch with the rest of the world. Tune into the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service (RUV) during primetime and there's a good chance a documentary will be gracing the airwaves. In operation since 1930, RUV devotes about 20% of its programming hours to factual fare that ranges from high profile blue chip series to locally produced magazine programs.
