Seven West Media hopes to emulate the Nine Network’s ratings success with the most recent Commonwealth Games that were held in Australia in 2006. Seven is believed to have paid $A43m for the traditional and digital media rights to the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. Seven CEO Tim Worner says that securing the broadcasting rights for the Olympic Games until 2020 prompted the decision to bid for the 2018 Commonwealth Games
