Broadcasting Career
After his retirement, Tabler joined TSN as a studio analyst for Blue Jays broadcasts in 1993. After the network's color commentator, former Jays catcher Buck Martinez, was named the team's manager in 2001, Tabler replaced him in the broadcast booth alongside play-by-play announcer Dan Shulman. He continued as the TSN color analyst when Rod Black replaced Shulman, who left for ESPN. Tabler took over as the main color commentator for TSN's main rival, Rogers Sportsnet in 2005 after the death of their regular commentator John Cerutti, and called the majority of games for both networks from 2005 to 2009 along side Jamie Campbell and Rod Black.
Tabler now works exclusively for Sportsnet, which is the Blue Jays' exclusive broadcaster. His partner is Buck Martinez who returned to the Blue Jays broadcast booth as play-by-play announcer in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words broadcasting and/or career:
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
