Tipped off last night about this website, launched to mark the forthcoming centenary of 5PY, the first BBC transmitting station in Plymouth (which happens to be this Thursday - perhaps worthy of a piece on Spotlight?)
5pyheritage.com
No exaggeration - it is a goldmine. Lots of archive material, background info and insight - especially concerning BBC SW but not forgetting the contribution of Westward, TSW and even, Channel.
There's even a separate page looking at the Channel Islands - including how Channel ended up playing host to an edition of Spotlight (the garage studio at Fremont was probably a bit too basic for the job)

Excellent resource and well worth your time.
