Mike Ross (born September 8, 1973 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a Canadian radio host, currently a sports broadcaster on XM Satellite Radio's Home Ice.

He graduated from École secondaire publique De La Salle in Ottawa and went on to study at Carleton University. While attending Carleton, he volunteered at CKCU, Carleton's campus radio station where he got his first taste of doing sports on the radio.

Soon after, he began working in the promotions department at Rawlco's Energy 1200 and Majic 100 in Ottawa. In 1998, 1200 AM went all sports and Mike became the morning show producer and co-host on OSR 1200.

In 1999, when CHUM Limited bought Rawlco's Ottawa stations, Mike was moved to the afternoon drive show with Duke and the Dandyman.

In 2001, CHUM launched a national sports radio network, The Team and hired Mike to produce the afternoon drive show from Toronto as well as serve as a general sports reporter covering the NHL, CFL, NBA and Major Leage Baseball.

In 2002, when CHUM pulled out of the national sports radio project, Mike moved over to television as an associate producer for Rogers Sportsnet.

When XM Canada was launched in 2005, Mike jumped on board as the producer of the midday show with Jim Tatti and Gary Green. Soon thereafter, Mike became the show's back-up host and co-host who fills in for Tatti or Green.

Mike now co-hosts "The War Room" and hosts "The Point" at noon and 1pm ET respectively.
