It was announced today, on Commonwealth Day, that the BBC has been awarded the UK broadcast rights for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
It will be the 17th consecutive Commonwealth Games to be covered by the UK’s public broadcaster as the BBC continues to develop its long-established relationship at the heart of Commonwealth sport.

The live sporting action will take place nine hours ahead of the UK, with the BBC promising no less than 180 hours of comprehensive through-the-night coverage, supported by daytime replay and peak time evening highlights across BBC One, BBC Two, the BBC Sport website, BBC iPlayer and national and local radio.

No mention of additional live streaming of events so whether that'll happen remains to be seen. I can't see another broadcaster wanting such rights and really hope the BBC are not deciding to not offer the content to make their pathetic Olympic deal look slightly less pathetic.
