Its first director until 1981 was the former TV editor-in-chief of WDR Franz Wördemann. Up until 2006, the ZFP offered around 400 events and seminars for around 4,000 participants. On January 1, 2007, the ZFP became part of the ARD.ZDF medienakademie , a merger of ZFP and the school for broadcast technology in Nuremberg.
