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 children at his bedside. [http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/ross-warneke-dies-aged-54/2006/08/25/1156012741430.html]
