Carole Mikita joined KSL 5 Television in June of 1979. She currently co-anchors "Eyewitness News at 6:30" and is also the station's Arts and Religion reporter.
Carole Mikita is the only the only television reporter in the Salt Lake City market specifically assigned to the arts and culture, as part of her duties at KSL 5. She has been integral in covering Utah's Shakespearean Festival. Her participation has been so extensive, she has been asked to attend and has participated in numerous round table discussions on-site in Cedar City. Carole has also done extensive coverage of the Utah Symphony; Ballet West; and Utah Opera. She specializes in unique one-on-one interviews with well over 100 assorted artists both local and national who have performed in Utah. She has been a mainstay in coverage of the Sundance Film Festival.
Since the fall of 1998, Carole has written and produced documentaries that air during the LDS General Conference every six months. She first traveled with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir through Europe and created "We'll Make the Air with Music Ring." Next she went to Spain with President Hinckley for the dedication of the Madrid Temple, and turned that story into "The Saints in Spain" documentary. She then accompanied Lex and Peggy de Azevedo to Jerusalem to document the premiere performance of their musical about the life of Christ, "Jerusalem: Prelude to Gloria." Carole's subsequent features included special looks at the life and accomplishments of President Gordon B. Hinckley ( "A Faith for All Season"); the church's humanitarian work titled ("A Helping Hand"); and one about painter Arnold Friberg ("An Artist's Legacy: The Book of Mormon"). She has also done a half-hour special on Sister Marjorie Hinckley.
In 1998, Carole received an Emmy Award for her documentary "Gideon's Story."
Carole speaks to and participates in a number of community and church organizations. Because of her dedication to people with disabilities, she was honored in 1994 by the Utah State Office of Rehabilitation, and in 1996, the Assistance League of Utah named her a "Woman of Distinction." Carole has hosted the Primary Children's Medical Center Telethon for more than 20 years.
Carole grew up in Steubenville, Ohio, and attended Ohio State University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater. She is married to Neil York, an American History professor at BYU. They have two daughters, Jennifer and Caitlin.
