CTV News says Lloyd Robertson, its former lead anchor of more than three decades, has died at 92.

On its website, the network says his family confirmed the veteran journalist’s death.

Robertson is one of Canada’s most recognizable names in journalism, having covered historic moments such as the Quebec referendum, 9/11 and more than a dozen federal elections.

He served at the helm of one of the highest-rated nightly newscasts in the country, bidding viewers good night with his trademark sign-off: “That’s the kind of day it’s been.”

Robertson joined CTV in 1976 and served as chief anchor and senior editor from 1984 to 2011.

Before that, he worked for two decades at the CBC and later anchored the public broadcaster’s national news.
