This paper examines how Spanish regional public service radio stations are adapting their digital platforms within the context of the platformization of the media ecosystem. The study explores the relationship between platform digital architecture and the editorial curation strategies used to organize, prioritize, and deliver audio content in digital environments. Based on a comparative analysis of regional public radio platforms, the article proposes an analytical framework structured around several dimensions related to interface design, content organization, and editorial mediation. The research employs a four-level evaluation scale to identify different degrees of structural development across the analyzed dimensions. The findings reveal varying levels of consolidation in both platform architecture and editorial curation strategies, highlighting diverse models of adaptation to the digital environment and to platform logics.
