Lloyd Robertson, the longest-serving news anchor in North America, has announced that he will retire from his position as chief anchor and senior editor of the CTV National News late next year.Robertson took over the anchor's chair in 1976 after jumping over to CTV from CBC News, something that was thought unthinkable at the time but has become commonplace today. Following his retirement in 2011, Robertson will have served as chief anchor for 35 years, longer than any other broadcaster in North America.
No doubt there are many individuals who have been holding their breath for Robertson to retire, leaving his coveted position vacant. CTV plans to announce his replacement later today. Create & Commerce would like to officially put $20 on Tom Clark, the host of CTV News Channel's highly-rated political show Power Play with Tom Clark, replacing Robertson as chief anchor. Clark previously served as CTV's Washington bureau chief, as well as host for W5, CTV's investigative news magazine program.UPDATES TO FOLLOW
