Jana Bennett is moving from her job as BBC Vision director to BBC Worldwide, with responsibilities including the global rollout of the international subscription version of the iPlayer video-on-demand service, the corporation confirmed today.
Bennett will join BBC Worldwide, the corporation's commercial arm, in February as president, worldwide networks and global iPlayer. MediaGuardian.co.uk revealed yesterday that an announcement about Bennett's BBC Worldwide move was imminent.
She will be responsible for the Global iPlayer, the international version of the BBC's popular UK VoD service. A pilot version is due to launch in the first half of 2011.
The Global iPlayer will be a subscription-only service, launching initially on the iPad, the BBC.com managing director, Luke Bradley-Jones, told a conference yesterday.
