N4 was an Icelandic media company and a television channel.[1] With its headquarters located in Akureyri, it was the only Icelandic television channel located outside the capital region.[2] It was founded in 2006 with the merger of Samver, Extra dagskráin, Smit auglýsingagerð and Traustmynd.[3]

Samver had previously run the television station Aksjón. Aside from operating the TV station, N4 has a website, profiles on several social media outlets (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok), a podcast and a bi-weekly newspaper as well as offering help with publishing and creating production projects.

The company filed for bankruptcy in January 2023 and closed down on February 3 the same year. A post on the channel's website and social media accounts said that attempts at surviving were fruitless.[4]
