Even if Farrage opts not to stand in a seat will his LBC show really still be able to be broadcast as he is a party leader.




Think that is it from him on LBC till after the election.


He is a 'party' leader, and therefore under the same laws as Johnson, Corbyn and Swinson. Farage/LBC has to ceed the slot during the election campaign, otherwise they (LBC) would have to give the same length of airtime to the other leaders.

Bad news for the lemmings that follow Farage and his views, but great news for Eddie Mair, who gets another 5 hours of airtime for the next six weeks.

Just to confim that my EPG is saying that Eddie Mair is on for an extra hour Monday-Thursday and Iain Dale is taking Farage's Sunday slot.

Also means Jacob Rees Mogg will be off LBC for the next six weeks as well.

Think you meant to say people, didn't you?

And before anyone asks, no I'm not a huge fan of Nigel, but to refer to people who have a differing political opinion as yourself as 'lemmings' is pretty childish.

Looks like debates are on...

And on a Tuesday as speculated. I assume it's 1930-2100 so it doesn't clash with IAC.

God, did they give him a show to balance out Farage?

Might as well call it Daily Mail Radio.

I'd rather poke my eyes out than watch those two for 90 minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the second debate not happen.

I suspect the live interview will be post news, ITV probably don't want to cut into I'm A Celebrity ad revenue.

I wonder if the other debate will air in primetime or if they'll put it on a Sunday since there isn't many slots available.
