Description
An Icelandic talk station built on news, phone-ins, opinion and discussion. Its own Síðdegisútvarpið page describes the output as "Opin og beinskeitt umræða um þjóðfélagsmál". Alongside the daily talk it carries regular strands on health, education, chess, world affairs and older music, and publishes a steady stream of its own news items.

Worth knowing
Two of its fixed programmes are titled with nothing but their presenters' names, Arnþrúður Karlsdóttir and Pétur Gunnlaugsson, which is how the station itself lists them among the Fastir þættir.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| The schedule published at utvarpsaga.is/dagskra/ | it is the special New Year grid for 31 December 2019 and 1 January 2020, not the current dagskrá, and the site's own navigation points instead to Fastir þættir í dagskrá.
source |
| Airtimes for the fixed programmes | neither the Fastir þættir index nor the individual programme pages publish any, and a sweep of the text of all 55 of its own pages found no broadcast-time pattern at all.
source |
| Presenter names for the thematic strands such as Heimsmálin, Við skákborðið and Menntaspjallið | their own pages credit nobody, so I name only the two the site actually credits.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
