The Provincial Electoral Board organizes the electoral spaces on La 1

The Provincial Electoral Board of Cantabria has determined the timing and order of broadcast for electoral propaganda slots at the territorial center of Televisión Española (La 1) during the campaign for the elections of November 29, 2026. The agreement, signed by the Board’s secretary, Julio Iván Antolín Muñoz, in Santander on November 10, 2026, is published in the extraordinary Official Gazette of Cantabria no. 33 of Thursday, November 12, 2026, in section 9. Elections, pages 5743-5744, with the official reference CVE-2026-8945. The distribution is specified in four daily slots from Monday to Friday and leaves several gaps in the schedule marked as “unassigned.”

The announcement is titled “Determination of the timing and order of broadcast of propaganda slots during the electoral campaign” and has the Territorial Center of Televisión Española (La 1) as the broadcasting center. This refers to the broadcast within the territorial disconnection slot—that is, the window in which the La 1 signal separates from the national programming to address the public of Cantabria. The decision is adopted within the electoral process called for Sunday, November 29, 2026, whose campaign extends from Friday, November 13 to Friday, November 27.

Four daily slots and 154 minutes of broadcast

The calendar approved by the Provincial Electoral Board of Cantabria distributes the propaganda into four fixed slots, all from Monday to Friday, with blocks of different durations depending on the slot:

• 07:26 to 07:30 hours: 4-minute block per day, with 44 accumulated minutes over the course of the campaign.
• 07:46 to 07:50 hours: 4-minute block per day, 44 accumulated minutes.
• 14:16 to 14:20 hours: 4-minute block per day, 44 accumulated minutes.
• 15:47 to 15:49 hours: 2-minute block per day, 22 accumulated minutes.

The sum of the four slots results in 154 minutes of broadcast over the eleven working days between November 13 and 27. The first three slots are located in the morning and at the start of the afternoon, while the last occupies a two-minute slot in the mid-afternoon.

Five formations and unassigned positions

The document identifies the formations participating in the distribution through a legend of abbreviations: Partido Popular (PP), Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE), VOX, Frente Amplio (FA), and Podemos. The list also includes the key “NA,” which the gazette itself defines as “Not assigned,” and which appears in several cells of the table corresponding to certain days and time slots.

This circumstance implies that a portion of the planned slots does not yet have a confirmed holder in the published schedule, meaning that the definitive order of intervention in those positions remains to be determined within the campaign period.

The agreement incorporates a relevant clarification: while the announcement header refers to the “general elections of November 29, 2026,” the interior table titles refer to “Municipal Elections in Cantabria on November 29, 2026” and “Regional Elections November 29, 2026 - Regional broadcast.”

The immediate precedent of public radio

On the same date and with the identical signatory, the Provincial Electoral Board of Cantabria published the equivalent distribution for radio, with reference CVE-2026-8946 (pp. 5745-5746) and broadcasting centers Radio Nacional and Radio Cinco in simultaneous broadcast. That schedule totals 181.5 minutes and is organized into five slots:

• 07:56 hours: RNE and Radio 5 simultaneously, 4-minute block, 44 accumulated minutes.
• 08:57 hours: Radio 5, 2.5-minute block, 27.5 accumulated minutes.
• 13:56 hours: RNE and Radio 5, 4-minute block, 44 accumulated minutes.
• 14:26 hours: RNE and Radio 5, 4-minute block, 44 accumulated minutes.
• 19:58 hours: RNE and Radio 5, 2-minute block, 22 accumulated minutes.

Both agreements share the same logic of daily blocks repeated throughout the working days of the campaign and the same party legend, with the exception that the radio distribution also includes “unassigned” positions.

Why it matters

The schedule determines when each candidacy may address the Cantabrian audience through public television and radio in the week prior to November 29, with spaces distributed between the morning start, midday, and late afternoon. The publication in the Official Gazette of Cantabria makes the broadcast order a verifiable reference for the political organizations and for any claims during the campaign, and leaves open the assignment of the slots marked as unassigned.
