Spotlight is a Magazine show started in 2014, a successor to [[Monday Evening Live]]. Unfortunately, MEL was restricted by the intention of being broadcast only on a Monday, in the evening, and Live. It was ratified at the beginning of 2014-15 academic year, with [[Sam Nicholson]] at the helm. Due to degree commitments, the production passed to [[Kenric Yuen]] in January of 2015. | Spotlight is a Magazine show started in 2014, a successor to [[Monday Evening Live]].

Typically the plasma either goes in the middle or off to one side depending on how much space can be invented in the studio - for Ep3 it was used to show images and slides relevant to that segment of the show, but for the other episodes it didn't get set up. | ||

At the conclusion of the 2014-15 run, the best piece of advice to give to a future producer of something Spotlight would be not to try and do a live show every other week by yourself (especially not in final year), either tag team with someone else and take alternate weeks or adjust the schedule to be further apart! ~SN | |||
