A SCOTTISH Government minister has said he is “very disappointed” next year’s Commonwealth Games will not be available on free TV.

The body behind the Games, which will return to Glasgow in a slimmed-down format next year, announced yesterday the contract for broadcasting events has been handed to TNT Sports - owned by global entertainment giant Warner Bros Discovery.

It means the Games will not be freely available to everyone across the UK, which has raised the ire of the Scottish Government.

Under UK legislation, major events can be put into two categories, A and B, with the former — such as the Olympics or the World Cup - guaranteeing live, free coverage, while the latter does not.
