The general director of the Radio Television Corporation of Galicia (CRTVG), Alfonso Sánchez Izquierdo, describes the budgets for 2017 as “the most technological.”

During the presentation in the third commission of the Parliament of Galicia of the budget of the Radio Television Corporation of Galicia for 2017, the general director of CRTVG, Alfonso Sánchez Izquierdo, announced that the Galician public radio and television station will have a budget of 104.7 million euros, which will represent an increase of 2.5 million compared to 2016. Of that amount, the Xunta will contribute 94 million, a 90% of the corporation's total resources. Advertising revenue will contribute 8.1%.

CRTVG plans to directly hire the audiovisual sector for an amount of 31.9 million euros in 2017.
