BBC Children’s Alice Webb Exits for Eagle Rock

Alice Webb—who has spent 15 years at the BBC, most recently as director of the children’s and education department—has joined Universal Music UK’s Eagle Rock Entertainment as CEO.

Webb has been serving as director at BBC Children’s since March 2015. She now takes the reins of Universal Music’s producer and distributor of music programming for broadcast, DVD, Blu-Ray, TV and digital media.

Webb said: “Universal Music is an extraordinary organization—it puts creativity at the heart of everything it does—which is why after 15 happy years at the BBC it is a privilege to be joining Universal Music and Eagle Rock Entertainment. The opportunity to tell the stories of some of the world’s best-known artists—past, present and future—is one I couldn’t turn down.”
