Celebrating 100 Years of Radio Broadcasting

Today marks a significant milestone in Icelandic history: the centenary of the country’s first radio broadcast. The momentous event took place in the Free Church of Hafnarfjörður, where, on January 31, 1926, a sailor’s mass was aired—just four years prior to the establishment of the National Broadcasting Company. This celebration not only honors a pivotal moment in our media landscape but also pays tribute to the commitment of those early pioneers who transformed communication in Iceland forever.
