Agree, while he's not my cup of tea at all, he must bring in a serious % of available audience for his shows both here and on 5Live.

I see that he's paid more than double what the the director of BBCNI earns.

Petitions wont bridge that gap.

"The Twitter troll forced to hand over £100,000 in libel damages to Stephen Nolan has advised Northern Ireland government officials in his well-paid role in economics and finance.

Fearing for his career, the Alliance party voter in his 40s, who used the Twitter handles 'Pastor Jimberoo' and 'Pastor Jimberoo's Ghost' to harass the BBC presenter, begged him not to reveal his identity.

Nolan has stuck to the agreement, saying it shows that he is the "bigger man".

That's from the Sunday Life story, it doesent necessarily make him a SpAd. People can advise government on a range of issues if they have the expertise. A SpAd is different.

100k for him to b the bigger man? The bigger man would have accepted an apology and costs.

That's a bigger salary than the US president.

The Nolan show I'm sure does some good, but high ratings doesn't mean that the progamme provides NET community benefit or public good.  In my view it does public harm as it promotes ThemUns v Ussuns style discussion in a way that is not constructive. 

It is not remotely edifying and I can't see how it makes any attempt to take the level of public discourse out of the gutter. 

Do not confuse programmes that interest the public with programmes that are in the public interest.

I'm sure Naked Attraction has good ratings; doesn't mean that it is in the public interest,

The Nolan Show, like anything Piers Morgan does, is about him not the subject matter.

I would say Morgan is multiple times better than Nolan.

Morgan at least has the balls to stand up to anyone & ask the hard questions.

Nolan only seems to have the gonads to do this to a certain sector of the community

There's a good chance the petition was causing concerns to his 5 Live bosses and he'd to be seen to be doing something about it.

He's evidently struck gold with whoever Pastor was and had them by the short and curlies evidently but I saw a lot of those tweets and I'd doubt there was much libelous in them.

Your man Tim McKane was live on air and openly invited Nolan to sue him. Wonder did anything ever come of that?
