Goodbye, Lloyd Robertson

Former CBC and CTV News anchor Lloyd Robertson passed on this month, at the age of 92. He presented Canadian news for more than four decades, the longest uninterrupted stretch of anyone in North America. I remember him for a period in the 2000s when CTV had among the earliest news podcasts I subscribed to. His voice, along with Mark Colvin, Keith Olbermann, and the regular cast of the NHK World, became a daily fixture of my life for many years. I’m not religious, but it’s fun to think of him and Mark having a chat up there. By Ruben Schade in Sydney, 2026-08-26.
