He is employed by Telemundo Deportes, the Spanish-language division of NBC Sports, and continues to provide commentary on Telemundo, as well as NBC's Universo network. Cantor also founded radio network Futbol de Primera, whichowns the Spanish-language rights to a number of sports properties. He has covered the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing as well as the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. Cantor has also won a number of awards, including Sports Personality of the Year in 1994 by the American Sportscasters Association, the Hispanic Heritage Award in 2004, and a Sports Emmy in 2014 for Best On-Air Personality in Spanish. FIFA Magazine has also named him one of the all-time legendary sports broadcasters.
