Mike McCarthy's Bio Save Email Print
Name: Mike McCarthy
Title: Reporter
Email Address: mike.mccarthy@wvlt-tv.com

Mike McCarthy is a WVLT Volunteer TV News reporter.

Thanks for supporting WVLT Volunteer TV News! You’re the reason why I’m here and why I come to work everyday!

I grew up in small Central Ohio town, called Marysville. Even though I’m originally from the Buckeye State, I feel right at home here in East Tennessee! It’s such a blessing to live in an area where people come from all over the country to vacation!

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University, where I was also named Outstanding Graduating Senior in Broadcast News.

I got my start in broadcasting at WOUB Radio & TV News in Athens, OH. I worked for three years as a reporter, anchor, producer, and weather forecaster (usually not all in the same day). The highlight of my time with the station was when I covered the capture of one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives in Southeast Ohio.

Besides local news coverage, I also have experience at the network level from my internship with NBC’s Today in New York.

When I’m not working for you, I love watching movies and TV (of course). I’m also somewhat of an amateur magician and always enjoy tinkering with new tricks.

If you see me out and about, please don’t be bashful! I love to meet viewers and hear what you have to say! If there’s anything you want me to know, please feel free to send an email my way! Again, thanks for watching Volunteer TV!
