Lloyd Robertson, a foundational figure in Canadian journalism, has died at the age of 92. Robertson is best remembered for his tenure as the chief anchor of CTV National News, a position he held for 27 years. During his time at the helm of Canada's top-rated nightly newscast, he became a household name and was frequently cited as one of the most trusted voices in the country’s media landscape.

His career spanned several decades, beginning long before his time at CTV. Robertson’s presence on television helped define the delivery of national news for generations of Canadians. While his career was marked by his transition from the CBC to CTV in 1976—a move that was considered a major industry shift at the time—he remained a constant and stabilizing figure in the industry until his retirement from the anchor desk in 2011. Colleagues and industry peers have noted his dedication to the craft of reporting and his ability to connect with viewers across the country, solidifying his legacy as a cornerstone of Canadian broadcasting history.
