NBC Sunday Night Football sideline reporter Michele Tafoya has agreed to serve as NFL Insider for NBC Sports Radio during the upcoming NFL season. Tafoya will make regular appearances on various network shows and will conduct interviews with NBC Sports Radio affiliates.
Tafoya said, “I began my broadcasting career in radio, and I absolutely love the medium. Sports talk radio offers a certain freedom to talk more conversationally than most formats. NBC Sports Radio has been a fun platform for me over the past couple of seasons, so I’m looking forward to this extended role.”
NBC Sports Ventures SVP Rob Simmelkjaer added, “Michele is one of the very best in the sports broadcasting business, and our listeners will love hearing her insights on a regular basis.”
