CRTVG was created on 11 July 1984 with the Lei de Galicia 9/1984.

With this law two separate companies were created; Televisión de Galicia, S.A. which is responsible for producing televisual output and Radio Galega, S.A. which produces its radio content.

The network is governed by a tripartisan board of directors appointed by the Galician Parliament.

He is directly appointed by the Xunta de Galicia.

The current director general of CRTVG is Alfonso Sánchez Izquierdo.
