Gert-Jaap Hoekman has announced his departure as the head of NOS Sport after just over a year in the role. Originally taking charge on September 1, 2022, he aimed to improve the department’s work culture following a crisis involving allegations of inappropriate behavior. Hoekman emphasized the challenges of balancing this cultural shift with the demands of a busy sports season, including the Olympics and European Championship. NOS director Gerard Eringa expressed regret over his exit, noting the importance of cultural enhancement alongside significant sports coverage.
