The Audiovisual Corporation of Galicia opens a public process to elect executives

The Corporación de Servizos Audiovisuais de Galicia has opened a public selection process for the hiring of professional management personnel for the public media outlets of the Autonomous Community. The call was published in the Diario Oficial de Galicia (DOG) no. 206, of October 28, 2026, on page 54143, within section VI. Announcements, with the official reference CVE-DOG: 8hij1ox0-0i84-zly1-fsv3-iyfy5qztnap5. The announcement is signed by the general director of the company, María Concepción Pombo Romero, in Santiago de Compostela on October 22, 2026.

A public commercial company for regional media

The Corporación de Servizos Audiovisuais de Galicia defines itself in the announcement as a regional public commercial company under article 102 of Law 16/2010, of December 17, on the organization and functioning of the general Administration and the regional public sector of Galicia. It integrates the public audiovisual communication media owned by the Autonomous Community that provide the public audiovisual communication service.

The framework for the call is article 45 of Law 1/2025, of March 14, on the services of the public audiovisual communication media of Galicia for the digital society. Under this framework, the selection process for professional management personnel is carried out through a public call, which places the filling of these positions under a regime of publicity and competition, rather than a discretionary appointment without prior exposure.

Competition, merit, and suitability of candidacies

According to the official text, the selection is carried out according to the principles of competition, merit, and capacity. To this is expressly added the discretionary assessment of the suitability of the candidates by the competent body—that is, a judgment on the adequacy of the candidacies that complements the regulated assessment of merits.

The essential elements of the process established by the announcement are as follows:

• Access route: public call, under article 45 of Law 1/2025.
• Guiding principles: competition, merit, and capacity.
• Additional assessment: discretionary assessment of suitability by the competent body.
• Full rules: available on the corporation’s website, http://www.csag.gal/.
• Headquarters for all publications and notifications of the process: the same website.

The announcement does not detail in its text the number of positions to be filled nor the specific profile of each management role; these details are referred to the rules published on the corporate website, which is also the only official channel enabled for communications derived from the procedure.

Five calendar days from the day following publication

The calendar is particularly tight. The application submission period begins the day following the publication of the announcement in the Diario Oficial de Galicia and lasts for five calendar days, with no extension provided in the published text.

• Start of the period: October 29, 2026, the day following publication.
• Duration: five calendar days.
• End of the period: November 2, 2026.
• Information channel: http://www.csag.gal/, where the rules are available and where all publications and notifications will be made public.

The choice of calendar days, rather than business days, reduces the reaction margin for interested parties, who must consult the rules and formalize the application within the same week as the publication.

An announcement preceded by another call in October

The DOG had already published an announcement of practically identical content on October 8, 2026, in no. 192, page 51927, with the reference CVE-DOG: fau2pye0-58w0-ln60-vns3-tqmbbggrqub9 and signed on October 2 by the same general director. That text registered the same legal grounds, the same principle of public competition, and a period likewise of five calendar days.

The publication of October 28 thus reiterates, now under the reference CVE-DOG: 8hij1ox0-0i84-zly1-fsv3-iyfy5qztnap5, the opening of a selection process for the management of Galician public media, with a relevant difference for anyone wishing to apply: it is this second publication that marks the start of the period’s countdown.

Relevance

The call directly affects the governance of Galicia’s public audiovisual media and, therefore, its editorial and management line, which is of interest to both sector professionals and the citizens who finance the service. For candidates, the decisive factor is time: only five calendar days, counted from October 29, to submit the application in accordance with the rules published at http://www.csag.gal/.
