What happened
The 18-page plan schedules 4- to 30-minute interviews on La Hora de La 1 and proposes debates on 17, 23 and 26 November. RTVE says the debates remain under negotiation and dates may change.
On 4 November the JEC Presidency took note of RTVE’s news coverage plan (BOE-A-2026-23259, 5 November). The resolution opens a complaints period until 14:00 on 6 November and does not describe the plan as approved.
Candidate interviews will air on La Hora de La 1, Monday to Friday and simulcast on Canal 24 horas, lasting 4 to 30 minutes according to parliamentary representation. The schedule includes Podemos (7 minutes, 17 November), PNV (11) and EH Bildu (12) on the 18th, Junts (13) on the 19th, ERC (13) on the 20th, Frente Amplio (18) on the 23rd, Vox (20) on the 24th and PSOE (27) on the 25th, ending with the PP (30) on the 27th. RTVE warns the table may change by agreement with the parties.
RTVE proposes a Sánchez–Feijóo head-to-head on 17 November, an eight-spokesperson debate (PSOE, PP, Vox, Frente Amplio, ERC, Junts, PNV and EH Bildu) on the 23rd and a four-candidate debate (PSOE, PP, Vox and Frente Amplio) on the 26th. It says they are under negotiation, dates may change and it could broadcast debates produced by other operators. Artículo 14 reported on 8 November that Sánchez’s and Feijóo’s teams had not yet agreed; elDiario.es had reported on 22 October that PSOE and PP disagreed on whether the four-way debate would be held on RTVE or Atresmedia.

Votuo analysis
A plan, proposed dates and an open negotiation do not make a settled calendar: this document confirms no debate or participant. Interviews longer than strict proportionality for parties absent from the debates are an RTVE compensation measure, not a decision about who should attend.
Editorial interpretation: implications and open questions based on the cited sources.
