"Lloyd Robertson told Canadians what kind of day it's been for the last time Thursday night, as he stepped down after 35 years as CTV's chief anchor and senior news editor.

Before his signature sign-off, Robertson paid tribute to his colleagues and to viewers who have tuned in faithfully year after year."

Did Lisa get a new desk?

[Emarsee]

@hockeyplayernumber4 It looks like they did. To be honest, it looks somewhat similar to the desk for Global National.

Best of luck to you, Lloyd Robertson. Canada is proud to have had you as our news anchor. You're not only a class-act, but a true Canadian.

Other then being a Media giant and contributing greatly to make CTV what it is today, especially there news cast service, Lloyd was one of the many little (but important) things that made Canada such a wonderful place to live.

You hardly ever find an anchor who so skillfully is able to connect with the viewers and break through all the age, race, religion barriers. Lloyd was one of those and will truly be missed.

And no doubt, he was a landmark in the 11PM time slot.

You will be missed.

Been watching Lloyd since I was a little kid. I remember meeting him in Calgary and Vancouver for both Olympics. Thanks for bringing Canadians the most trusted voice in news.
