ZDF director Thomas Bellut does not want to apply for a third term.

The public service institution announced this on Tuesday at the request of the German Press Agency.

Bellut will end his second term in office in March 2022.

The 65-year-old has been at the helm of Second German Television since March 2012.

Bellut said in a press release: “The next 12 months still offer numerous challenges: Corona, digitization, the funding of ZDF, election reporting, to name just a few.

On March 15, 2022, after 40 exciting years in the media business, it will be time for a new chapter in life. "

As director, Bellut is responsible for all of ZDF's business, including the design of the programs.

Around 3500 permanent employees work for ZDF.

The director is elected by the television council for a period of five years.
