Marcus Werner, Beloved Moderator of "Lokalzeit OWL", Passes Away at 51
Marcus Werner, a well-known figure in regional television, has passed away at the age of 51 following a severe illness. The West German Broadcasting Corporation (WDR) announced his passing on Friday evening, sending shockwaves through the industry.
Born in Schleswig, Werner spent his childhood and youth in East Frisian Aurich and the Baden town of Bruhl. He later made Berlin and Bielefeld his homes at different points in his life.
Werner's career spanned various television stations, not just WDR. He was a fixed member of the moderator team of "Lokalzeit OWL" since 2009, and his voice, energy, and ideas will be greatly missed. The "Lokalzeit OWL" studio is located in WDR's Bielefeld studio, where Werner spent many hours in front of the camera.
Gabi Ludwig, chief editor of WDR regional programs, described Werner as a wonderful colleague and friend. She expressed her sorrow at his passing, stating that his voice, energy, and ideas are greatly missed. The journalist's knack for getting to the point of topics and understanding what moved the audience significantly shaped regional television in East Westphalia, making him the anchor of the Bielefelder broadcast.
In addition to his work on "Lokalzeit OWL", Werner was a columnist for "WirtschaftsWoche". He wrote about "the everyday trivialities in the economy", bringing a unique perspective to his readers. Werner's appearances in front of the camera extended beyond "Lokalzeit OWL", as he appeared in various productions of other stations.
Werner's commitments extended beyond local news, making a significant impact on the industry. The press release from WDR was issued to mourn Werner's passing, expressing their condolences to his family and friends.
Rest in peace, Marcus Werner. Your contributions to regional television will never be forgotten.
