BBC Studios unifies its media and streaming business in APAC

BBC Studios has formally integrated its media and streaming business in Australia, New Zealand and Asia into a single APAC region.

The move reflects BBC Studios’ commitment to streamlining its global operations and accelerating growth across key international markets.

Robi Stanton has been appointed to the expanded role of president, APAC media and streaming.

She joined in March 2025 and previously held a range of senior leadership roles at CNN International, Warner Bros. Discovery and Turner International in both Australia and Singapore.

Marcus Arthur, CEO of BBC Studios Global Channels, said bringing the business in ANZ and Asia together under Stanton’s leadership is a strategic step forward.

“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 APAC,” he said.

Stanton said BBC Studios has an extraordinary portfolio and a talented team across 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,” she said.
