A graduate in Journalism from the San Pablo CEU University and in Law from the Complutense University of Madrid, José Pablo López Sánchez (Sayalonga, Málaga, 1977) has almost two decades of experience in the executive and legal management of various public and private television and radio stations. As an expert in the management and optimisation of resources in national and regional channels, as well as in the relaunch of projects in operation, he combines a deep personal commitment to content knowledge, in-house production, programming, economic sustainability and the human team in charge of all his projects. Between April 2022 and March 2024, he was RTVE's Director of General Contents, with cross-cutting responsibilities over all the Corporation's non-news content areas, including TVE, RNE and RTVE Play. In addition, he coordinated the animation, fiction and documentary allocation boards and was in charge of coordinating the Benidorm Fest 2023 and 2024 editions, as well as RTVE's participation in Eurovision and Junior Eurovision during those years. Among the main milestones of his tenure, the recovery of La 1's second place as the most watched television channel in Spain after the audience crisis of previous years; the restructuring of the morning show 'La Hora de La 1' and the premiere of 'Mañaneros' in the area of Magacines y Actualidad; and the relaunch of the series area, reactivating RTVE's role as a driving force for the national industry ('La Promesa', 'La Moderna', 'La ley del mar', 'Las Abogadas', 'Esto no es Suecia', 'Ser o no ser'...). Furthermore, the entertainment area has been redefined, undergoing its biggest transformation with the programme ‘La Revuelta’, a great television revolution and leader in just two months on La 1's 'Access', together with formats such as 'Cifras y Letras', 'El Grand Prix' and the celebration of the Latin Grammy Awards in Spain. The promotion of RTVE Play, a reference platform for free-to-air television, and the launch of RNE Audio are other highlights of his time at RTVE. Previously and for four years he was Director General of RTVM (2017-2021), elected by public competition by the Board of Directors of the company and ratified by the Assembly of Madrid without any votes against.
