Ross Warneke

Ross Warneke (5 April 1952 – 25 August 2006) was an Australian journalist and broadcaster in Melbourne, most recently involved in commentary on television.

Career

Warneke often acted as a substitute on Neil Mitchell's morning program on radio station 3AW. He was at the helm of the show for many big news stories, including the Port Arthur massacre and the 9/11 terrorist attack on America.[1]

For many years Warneke wrote a column in The Age's television guide, Green Guide, mainly focusing on the discussion of television ratings and other television matters of the previous week. On 24 August 2006, it was announced in Green Guide that Warneke was gravely ill and suffering from cancer.

Death

Not even 24 hours after the announcement went into print, on 25 August 2006 Warneke died in a Melbourne hospital with his wife and son at his bedside.[1]
