The BBCâs chief content officer, Charlotte Moore, is to leave the corporation later in the year, it has been announced.
Moore, who has been in that role since September 2020, is leaving to join Left Bank Pictures as chief executive and Sony Pictures Television as EVP, creative director of international production.
This comes at the end of a turbulent time for the BBC, and criticism of a documentary about Gaza that featured the son of a former Hamas leader.
Moore said in a statement: âItâs been an honour to lead the BBC creatively as chief content officer at a time of unprecedented change, championing the very best British storytelling across radio and TV.

âIâm very proud of what weâve achieved during my time at the helm, transforming our offer and supporting iPlayer to become the fastest growing streamer in the UK.
âI want to thank my colleagues, my brilliant team and all the incredible producers, directors, writers and on screen and on air talent whoâve made it such a thrilling ride.â
âThe BBC is an extraordinary place to work and plays a vital role in the UKâs creative ecology.
âThereâs nowhere quite like it that backs risk taking, innovation and homegrown creativity with such commitment and Iâve been lucky enough to work with some of the very best programme makers in the business.
âSo itâs been a tough decision to leave a job I love and an institution I believe in.
âBut Iâve decided the time is right for a new challenge and a new adventure and to follow my heart to return to making shows.
âItâs an honour to join the brilliant team at Left Bank Pictures to become CEO of one of the UKâs most successful production companies.
âIâm excited to be returning to programme making and Iâm thrilled to be joining Wayne Garvie and Sony Pictures Television as EVP, creative director.â
Moore, who joined the BBC in 2006 as a commissioning executive for documentaries, takes over in her new role from Andy Harries, who continues as an executive producer at Left Bank Pictures and will become the companyâs executive chairman.
Harries heralded Netflix drama The Crown through Left Bank Pictures, and he picked up the Harvey Lee Award for outstanding contribution to broadcasting at the 2024 Broadcasting Press Guild Awards.
Tim Davie, BBC director-general, called Moore âa creative powerhouse and real visionary who has made a huge impact during her time at the BBCâ.
He added: âHer commitment to homegrown storytelling is unrivalled, and she has a long track record of taking risks and supporting creatives both on and off screen.
âShe has consistently pushed boundaries across genres and platforms to bring audiences an ambitious range and quality of programming.â

He added that she has âtaken bold decisions to deliver remarkable growth and set us up for further success in a digital age, on both the national and global stageâ and âeveryone who has worked with Charlotte has huge admiration and respect for herâ.
Mr Davie said: âShe is passionate about the power of the UKâs creative industries and the role of the BBC at their heart
âI would like to thank her for all her hard work and to wish her the very best for the future.
âShe will be greatly missed but leaves BBC Content in exceptional form. I know the incredibly talented and committed commissioning teams she has put in place will continue the great work.â
Moore was previously director of BBC Content, responsible for the BBCâs channels, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sports, from July 2016 to 2020.
Between 2013 and 2016, she was controller of BBC One when the channel delivered hit shows The Night Manager, Doctor Foster, Three Girls, Peter Kayâs Car Share, Blue Planet and Planet Earth.
In an open letter, released on Wednesday, and addressed to Mr Davie, chairman Samir Shah and Moore hundreds of TV and film professionals and journalists criticised the decision to remove Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone from BBC iPlayer.
The letter, published by the Artists For Palestine UK website, was signed by more than 500 UK-based media professionals, including broadcaster Gary Lineker and Harry Potter film series star Miriam Margolyes.
The BBC said earlier this month it was pulling the documentary as it conducts âfurther due diligence with the production companyâ.
It also apologised after it emerged that contributor Abdullah Al-Yazouri, who speaks about what life is like in the territory amid the war between Israel and Hamas, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamasâs deputy minister of agriculture.
Further accusations have been made about Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone, such as claims that other children were pictured with the militant group Hamas.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) has called for the licence fee to âbe suspended pending a full independent inquiry into bias at the BBCâ.
