BBC Alba to screen Glasgow Commonwealth Games with nightly live coverage

Summary
SNP MSP David Linden has written to UK Government ministers calling for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games to be broadcast on free-to-air television, arguing it is "simply wrong" that the event will only be available on subscription-based TNT Sports. Currently, the BBC will only show nightly live coverage on BBC Alba, the Gaelic broadcaster, limiting wider public access to the games.
