Biography

Born in Sayalonga, province of Málaga, on 15 May 1977,[1] López earned a licentiate degree in journalism from the Universidad CEU San Pablo and a licentiate degree in law from the Complutense University of Madrid.[2] He worked and in La Sexta's legal department (2005–2010) and as Director-General of 13TV (2010–2016).[2][3] Elected as prospective director-general of RTVM out of a shortlist of 36 candidates, his election was ratified in the Assembly of Madrid on 12 January 2017 with 99 votes in favour and 26 abstentions.[4] The votes in favour came from the parliamentary groups of the PP, PSOE and Ciudadanos, whereas Podemos abstained, criticising the lack of "transparency" during the process.[1] He thus took office on 22 February 2017.[5] In July 2020, he assumed as president of FORTA,[6] the federation of Spanish regional public broadcasting networks.

At the end of 2024, the Congress of Deputies appointed him as Board member and chair of RTVE.[7]
