Spotlight is the name given to a BBC Northern Ireland weekly current affairs programme.
The programme is aired on BBC1 Northern Ireland at 10.35pm on Tuesday evenings, with a repeat on BBC2. It is available to UK viewers outside of Northern Ireland on BBC iplayer for a week after the programme. The format usually consists of a half hour report presented on a rotating basis by a small number of reporter/presenters. At present these are Brian Hollywood, Stephen Walker, Darragh MacIntyre and Bobby Friedman. Occasionally the programme consists of a studio format with various reports and panel discussions.
Spotlight is well-known for its hard-hitting investigations and recently won an Royal Television Society award for Mandy McAuley's dog-fighting investigation.
It has launched the careers of a number of high-proile broadcasters, including Jeremy Paxman and Gavin Esler.
