Coming from the production company Fabricantes Studio, Sergio Calderón has taken over the direction of TVE with a fixed remuneration of 154,693 euros. Additionally, he could supposedly receive up to 158,563 euros additional if he achieves the established objectives, which would significantly raise his annual compensation.

Isabel Sánchez-Maroto, at the head of the News Services, will receive 135,000 euros annually. A figure that matches the compensation assigned to other high-ranking officials of the corporation.

Among them are Roberto Lakidain, head of Corporate Development and Public Service and former representative of CCOO. Also Roberto Santamaría, director of RNE and Cristina Bravo, head of RTVE Territorial. Finally, Adriana Vázquez, director of Production and Media.

María Eizaguirre, director of Communication and Participation, will receive the lowest salary, with 133,249 euros annually.

RTVE Injects Catalanism

José Pablo López has announced that the children's channel Clan will broadcast its programming also in Catalan before the end of 2025.

It is noteworthy that the children's channel will continue to be broadcast in Spanish, only that it will coexist with Catalan, according to Vozpopuli. To carry it out, dual technology will be used.

It allows the user to decide, through the remote control, in which language they prefer to watch the chosen program. However, RTVE has not clarified which will be the default language, whether Spanish or Catalan.
