For over three decades, Bills legend Steve Tasker has been a staple
in the Western New York community. A standout on special teams for
the Bills during his 12 seasons with the team, Tasker made a name
for himself around the league. Not only did his outstanding
achievements on the field earn him numerous accolades, his
commitment to the region solidified his place in the hearts of
Bills fans everywhere. Tasker, who remained close to the game
through his broadcast work for CBS, will get back to his roots with
Buffalo when he joins the Voice of the Bills John Murphy as co-host
of “One Bills Live,” presented by Kaleida Health. Like its
predecessor, “The John Murphy Show,” “One Bills Live” will give
fans a daily dose of the latest Bills news. The only show live from
the home of the Bills – One Bills Drive – fans can follow along
with Tasker and Murphy, as well as special guests, as they tackle
all the hottest topics happening around the NFL. The show will
remain at its current time from noon to 3 p.m. Monday through
Friday and will be available on WGR Sports Radio 550, MSG Networks
and the MSG Go app.Murphy, who over the years has developed a close
relationship with Tasker, believes the Bills icon is the perfect
addition to the show. “I’ve known Steve since he came here in
1986,” said Murphy. “Shortly after that, he started doing
television shows. When I was at Channel 7, he hosted “The Steve
Tasker Show” and I was the co-host…I’ve known him for 30-plus
years. One of the many good things about Steve doing the show, is
he’s a broadcaster. He’s been at CBS for 21 years at the highest
level of football broadcasting.“He comes in with all that
experience – all his football experience, playing at a very high
level for several years and making Pro Bowls. Adding in his
broadcast background, which is pretty impressive, I think it will
make him a great addition to the show.” While Tasker’s impressive
resume undoubtedly gives him a unique perspective to share with
viewers, Murphy believes that its Tasker’s time spent in Buffalo
that makes him truly special and able to connect with his
audience.“Steve always impressed me," said Murphy. “Not that
players aren’t tuned into the reality, but Steve has always been
tuned into real life. He knows what it’s like not to be in the NFL.
He lives his life like a person who is not a former professional
athlete in many ways. He’s easy to relate to. I think fans already
know that. Fans are familiar with him from all the TV work he’s
done. He brings an everyman aspect to the show and he’s committed
to this area. I think people tap into that.” For Tasker, this next
chapter in his career is one that he’s ready to embrace
fully. “The Buffalo Bills have been a tremendous part of my
life and I am very eager to begin this opportunity,” said Tasker.
“This is an exciting time in franchise history and I am thrilled to
get involved on a daily basis. I look forward to working with Murph
to connect with Bills fans who have been so supportive of me for a
long time.”
