Diego Bustos is a senior sports anchor at CNN en Español, where he also serves as the host of Deportes CNN, a widely watched primetime sports program aired daily in a 30-minute format. In addition to anchoring, Bustos hosts the golf-focused show Vive el Golf and provides in-depth coverage of major international sporting events.
Diego Bustos was born in María Juana, Argentina. He earned a degree in announcing from the Instituto Superior para la Enseñanza de la Radiodifusión. Bustos is fluent in Spanish, English, French, and Italian—language skills that have been instrumental in his ability to report across different regions and cultures. His multilingual proficiency has played a pivotal role in his international journalism career, enabling him to cover global sports and news events comprehensively.
Bustos began his broadcasting career with RT6 FM as a correspondent based in María Juana. He later joined Telefe, one of Argentina’s major television networks, where he worked both as a news and sports anchor, as well as a reporter and announcer. His experience in local media laid the groundwork for his later success in international journalism.
In 1997, Bustos became part of CNN en Español, marking a significant milestone in his career. Since then, he has conducted interviews with numerous high-profile athletes and sports figures, including Diego Maradona, FIFA President Sepp Blatter, Senior PGA Tour Champion Eduardo Romero, football legend Pelé, NBA star Manu Ginóbili, Major League Baseball player Dennis Martínez, world champion boxers Félix "Tito" Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya, and NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya.
Throughout his more than two-decade-long career in international journalism, Bustos has reported from a range of major sporting events. These include multiple FIFA World Cups (1998, 2002, 2006, and 2010), the Olympic Games in Athens and Beijing, and both the 2004 Copa América in Peru and the 2007 tournament in Venezuela. He also covered the Pan American Games in Winnipeg (1999) and Santo Domingo (2003).
While primarily known for his sports coverage—including international football, basketball, baseball, tennis, Formula One, Super Bowl, and golf—Bustos has also reported on major non-sporting events. These include the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, notably Argentina's football loss to Nigeria, and significant news events such as the 1992 AMIA bombing at the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires.
Diego Bustos has been honored with two awards from Argentina’s National Television for his work as a news reporter and anchor. His extensive experience in both sports journalism and general news reporting has earned him deep respect across Latin American media and beyond.
