BBC Studios is consolidating its media and streaming operations in Australia, New Zealand (ANZ), and Asia into a unified APAC region. Robi Stanton has been named President of APAC Media and Streaming, expanding her role after previously serving as EVP and General Manager of Global Media and Streaming for ANZ. Stanton brings a wealth of experience from CNN International, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Turner International, focusing on business development and content monetization in the Asia Pacific markets.

Stanton expressed enthusiasm for leading BBC Studios in the region, emphasizing the company’s exceptional content portfolio and talented team. The move aims to enhance connectivity and agility in delivering top-notch content and experiences to audiences across Asia Pacific. BBC Studios, as the commercial arm of BBC Commercial, encompasses a content studio producing and distributing TV and audio globally, alongside media and streaming platforms like UKTV, BBC.com, and BritBox International.

In Australia and New Zealand, BBC Studios Australia Productions, under Kylie Washington’s leadership, has worked on various unscripted formats for platforms like Foxtel, Seven, and SBS. The company’s involvement in projects like The Great Australian Bake Off, The 1% Club, and The Matchmakers showcases its commitment to quality content. Additionally, BBC Studios’ collaboration with Disney on the animated series Bluey further solidifies its presence in the region.
