BBC Studios Merges ANZ & Asia Media & Streaming Business

BBC Studios has merged its media and streaming business in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and Asia into a single AsiaPac region, under the leadership of Robi Stanton.

The integration of the ANZ and Asia businesses is part of BBC Studios’ goal of streamlining its global operations and accelerating growth across key markets.

Stanton, who now serves as president of AsiaPac media and streaming, joined BBC Studios earlier this year. Prior to joining the company, she held a range of senior leadership roles at CNN International, Warner Bros. Discovery and Turner International in Australia and Singapore.

“Bringing BBC Studios’ media and streaming business in ANZ and Asia together under Robi’s leadership is a strategic step forward,” said Marcus Arthur, CEO of BBC Studios global channels, streaming and UKTV. “Robi brings clarity, energy and a sharp commercial lens to the region, and I’m confident this alignment will unlock new opportunities for growth and collaboration across AsiaPac.”

Stanton added, “BBC Studios has an extraordinary portfolio and a talented team across the Asia Pacific. I’m excited to lead this next chapter as we build a more connected and agile business, focused on delivering world-class content and experiences to audiences across the region.”
