She formerly worked as an analyst for WNBA games on MSG and has worked on New York Knicks games. Burke was the first female commentator to call a New York Knicks game on radio and television.

In 2023, ESPN named Burke to its No. 1 NBA commentary team. She became the first woman to serve as a game analyst on television for a championship final (the 2024 NBA Finals) in one of the four major North American professional men's sports leagues.
Doris Sable was born in West Islip, New York. At age seven, she moved to Manasquan, New Jersey, where she was raised. The youngest of eight children, Doris started playing basketball in the second grade. Her basketball idols growing up were Kyle Macy, Kelly Tripucka, and Tom Heinsohn.

During her freshman year, Burke led the Big East Conference in assists. She was twice named to both the All-Big East and Big East all-tournament teams, both in 1986 and 1987. As a senior in 1987, Burke was the college's Co-Female Athlete of the Year. She was also named an All-American in 1987.
Burke left Providence as its all-time leader in assists with 602, and as of 2012 was still second in that career category. She was inducted into the Providence College Hall of Fame in 1999, the fifth woman so honored.
