It moved to Sky channel 261 on 17 August 2015 following the closure of True Entertainment +1 and to free space for AMC from BT.

On 21 January 2019, the channel changed Freeview multiplex and increased its reach from 75% of the UK to 90%[5] but it was removed from the platform in June 2019.

The channel was renamed as Spotlight TV on 1 July 2019[6][7] and broadcasts on Freeview in the Greater Manchester area.

Mack stated that BARB's figures were unfair as they were based on a small survey of 5,200[9] viewers with many of those panel members not being fans of Irish country music, resulting in an unfair zero rating for the channel when Mack recorded thousands of fans tuning in, with Mack stating in the past[10] that Memory Lane had a weekly reach of 1.2 million.

Mack also stated that he would be taking legal action against BARB over the reporting of the viewing figures and suggested that people contact Nadine Dorries, the UK'S Culture, Media and Digital Secretary to complain.

[9] On 31 August 2022, after Spotlight TV was added to Channelbox under its normal channel name, it was removed from Sky and Freesat.
