Dixon began her career in broadcasting in 1980 as a news and sports anchor for KTUL-TV, the local ABC affiliate in Tulsa.
In addition to her role as co-host, Dixon served as a reporter, covering major sporting events such as the Super Bowl, Winter Olympics, Triple Crown, and World Gymnastics Championships.
During an interview with Tulsa People magazine Dixon said, “I really enjoyed the sidelines, because it included a bit of everything – feature reports, injuries, interviews… You were the eyes and ears on the field.”[2] She left network broadcasting in 1989 and briefly co-hosted the Dallas Cowboys’ Jerry Jones show before returning to Tulsa.
During the show’s 23-year run, Dixon interviewed numerous Oklahoma natives including Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood, David L. Boren, T. Boone Pickens, Mickey Mantle and Ron Howard.
On May 4, 2016, Dixon received the Sadie Adwon Lifetime Achievement Award by the Association of Women in Communications.
