Governor Mary Fallin Statement on the Passing of Longtime Journalist, Commentator Mike McCarville

OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin today released the following statement on the passing of Mike McCarville, longtime Oklahoma journalist and commentator:

“Mike McCarville was a skilled journalist and one of Oklahoma’s most respected commentators. He had a strong curiosity who cared deeply about Oklahoma and was intrigued especially about the politics and newsmakers of our state. He was a personal friend who I will remember as being fair, but tough in pursuing stories and tips. He worked for several news outlets throughout his career, but I remember him most during his time on the radio, in which he liked to describe himself as the ‘man with a face for radio.’ My thoughts and prayers are with Mike’s family and friends during this difficult time, as we remember his joyful and caring spirit.”
