▲Nicolson was appointed Shadow [[Frontbench Team of Angus Robertson|SNP Spokesperson for Culture, Media and Sport]] shortly after his election.
Nicolson used his position to cross examine the BBC Chair [[Rona Fairhead]], revealing the unorthodox way in which she had been appointed without due process. She withdrew her candidacy for the new BBC Board shortly afterwards. He also proposed that the BBC publish all presenter pay, arguing that it would reveal some hugely inflated salaries, a shortage of BME presenters at the top of the BBC earnings league, and a significant [[gender pay gap]]. His proposal was accepted by the DCMS Select Committee, and the Government. When BBC presenter salaries were subsequently published there was public controversy as a significant underpayment of women at the corporation was revealed.<ref>{{Cite news|date=29 June 2018|title=Timeline: How the BBC gender pay story has unfolded|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-42833551|access-date=22 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=14 September 2020|title=BBC has given rises to 700 female staff since start of pay scandal|url=http://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/sep/14/bbc-has-settled-at-least-700-female-employees-equal-pay-claims|access-date=22 March 2021|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=12 March 2019|title=Equality commission to investigate BBC over pay discrimination|url=http://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/mar/12/equality-commission-investigate-bbc-gender-pay-gap|access-date=22 March 2021|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref>
