Peter Mansbridge to step down from 'The National' next year

Peter Mansbridge — the veteran CBC News anchor whose deep, authoritative voice has been informing Canadians of the day's top stories, broadcasting into their living rooms each night for decades — is retiring as anchor of The National.

Mansbridge, 68, has announced that he plans to step down from the helm of CBC's flagship show next summer, after anchoring special Canada Day coverage on July 1, when the country will mark its 150th birthday.

"It's been an amazing time to report our history, but I've decided that this year will be my last one," Mansbridge told viewers Monday night.

"As someone who believes strongly in public broadcasting, leaving the CBC's flagship will not be easy. But what's important is that The National of the future will continue to reflect our world, our country and our people."

Mansbridge's storied career has spanned nearly five decades, including 28 years at the helm of the desk as anchor and chief correspondent.

I lived near the border for a time and was able to watch him often.
Despite working for the CBC (which in a sense meant he was a government employee)
I found him to be more objective/less biased than just about any anchor on U.S. television.
 
During the 9/11 attacks, those with antennas in the Buffalo, N.Y area and perhaps
elsewhere, turned to CBC and Peter Mansbridge for an objective and insightful
look at those events and others as well......
