“Hey, didn’t you used to be Gary DiBello?”
From 1989 to 2003, Gary DiBello was as much a part of the morning routine in Texoma as a cup of coffee. He was a morning fixture as host of “Mornin’ Cup” on KTEN-TV Channel 10. DiBello joined KTEN in 1989 as a weekend anchor. Soon, the station bosses set him to work creating a local morning show. In short order, the station’s viewers were “Waking Up with Gary.”

No dogs are ever put down at the shelter. At last count, the facility has 314 dogs that patrol the property and greet newcomers to the gate with an array of barks, howls and wagging tails.
