Radio announcers pay tribute to John Laws's after his death at 90

Sydney's airwaves went live on a sombre note this morning following the death of radio titan John Laws.

Laws's family said he died peacefully in his Woolloomooloo home in Sydney's inner-city over the weekend just two weeks after being released from hospital.

He was 90 years old.

While his primary success came from talkback radio, Laws lent his iconic voice to radio and TV commercials, and at times appeared on the small screen as a presenter, interviewer and talk-show panellist.

He also released several singles as a country music singer and was a published poet.
