TNT Sports 2 will become the Commonwealth Games 360 channel
TNT Sports has revealed comprehensive plans for the Commonwealth Games, with the broadcaster set to show more than 600 hours of live coverage.
All of the action from the Games, which take place in Glasgow from 23 July-2 August, will be shown across the TNT Sports linear channels as well as streamed on HBO Max.
A key part of the coverage will be turning TNT Sports 2 into Commonwealth Games 360 from 8:30-22:30 each day. This will see the on-site live studio channel tour between competition venues capturing key moments as they happen in real-time, complemented by insight and analysis from pundits including Sir Chris Hoy, Jo Rowsell, Beth Tweddle, Eilidh Doyle, Jonnie Peacock, Nile Wilson, Ellie Simmonds, Michael Jamieson, Jess Thirlby, Eilidh Doyle, Stef Reid, Dame Sarah Storey, and Delicious Orie. Emma Dodds will anchor the morning session, with Radzi Chinyanganya and Becky Ives fronting the afternoon and evening coverage.
The on-site studio will include augmented reality graphics and analysis tools, alongside a team of reporters and roaming crews stationed across competition venues, delivering breaking news, updates and athlete interviews. More traditional event-focused live coverage will be screened on TNT Sports 3 and TNT Sports 4.
