During the first 8 days of the 2012 London Olympics, Telemundo has doubled its audience among total viewers compared to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The Telemundo Olympic broadcast, led by sportscaster Andrés Cantor, delivered a total cumulative viewership of 13.8 million total viewers through its first 8 days of coverage, 22% more than the Beijing Olympics for the same period, according to Nielsen.
