Spotlight On is an ongoing series of educational, short four to five minute programs that has been broadcasting nationally on Public Television for 19 years.  Spotlight On is the only program that guarantees 500 national airings (approx. 40% during prime-time) & 3,000,000+ viewers of each show. We are the only such program with a Nielsen-based monitoring report confirming airings. (www.trivue.org) Should we fail to meet these minimums, the show will be re-uplinked at our expense until these minimums are met.

Although programs continue airing for a year or longer, the monitoring period is for the first 3 months of broadcast; actual total viewership is far greater than the guaranteed minimums. Public Television Stations air Spotlight On programs daily. 

Programs are developed in conjunction with the underwriter to ensure content & technical accuracy.  The underwriter is given complete script and program approval rights.  

All Spotlight On programs are distributed via satellite access feed from Washington, D.C.  Prior to each Spotlight On satellite feed, all Stations are notified through the public television wire service, E-mail Express.

At the end of the program’s airing term, the Underwriter receives a Nielsen-based monitoring report detailing specific Public Television Stations, cities, market ranking, %TVHH’s, number of airings, & audience viewings.
