  Lloyd Robertson - Definition, explanation
Lloyd Robertson (born 1934 in Stratford, Ontario) is the anchor of Canada's nightly CTV National News.

From 1976 to 1984, Robertson co-anchored the CTV News with the late Harvey Kirck.

Lloyd Robertson is truly one of a kind and by just listening to him sing one time, it's easy to see and easy to hear the passion in his voice.
Lloyd not only has special singings at the church once a month, but he goes to the nursing homes and sings to the shut-ins that have no other way of hearing gospel music unless someone brings it to them.
Lloyd began singing at school in Telephone and at the Methodist Church in Telephone at an early age.

 First World War.com - Who's Who - Sir William Robertson
Having been made a full Colonel in 1904, Robertson's career received a further major boost in December 1907 when he was appointed Chief of the General Staff to Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien (who had himself succeeded Sir John French as command of the Aldershot garrison).
In this role Robertson served as liaison between the army and the government (in which role he conspired against then Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, helping to install David Lloyd George as the new Prime Minister late in 1916).
Wilson had connived with Lloyd George in the creation of the Supreme War Council, a body which Robertson had vociferously opposed, not least because it served partly to circumvent Robertson and Haig.

 October 23, 2006 - The Anchor That Time Forgot by Nicholas Kohler
Lloyd Robertson is sitting at the anchor desk in CTV's suburban Toronto studios flipping a Maclean's reporter the bird: index and ring fingers bent at the joint, the middle digit, exhibiting a perfect combination of rigidity and cool, erect and weaving amidst the newsroom's blue TV haze.
Robertson, the face of CBC's The National for six years prior to his explosive departure in 1976, is North America's longest-serving national anchor, last of a tribe made otherwise extinct by retirement (Walter Cronkite), corporate putsch (Dan Rather) and death (Peter Jennings).

Robertson, after 50 years in the business, finds himself presiding over a 500-channel-and-counting fractured TV universe where viewer loyalty -- the kind it takes decades to cultivate -- has otherwise faded.
His career -- which began in Canada's hinterlands and saw Robertson absent at night and sleeping late into the morning ("in a way it was a good thing he wasn't up trying to compete for a bathroom with four teenagers") -- "grew very slowly," Nancy says.
