Tom Clark spent nearly four decades at CTV and was, by all accounts, one of two finalists to succeed Lloyd Robertson as anchor of the flagship national newscast. CTV was blessed/cursed with two excellent finalists — and the job went to the one that wasn't named Tom.

On Thursday, Tom had an adventure he'd never had in his long career: Joining Peter Mansbridge on his show as a panelist for Mansbridge's “At Issue” panel. Peter had four panelists that Thursday and came to Tom last for his opinion on the Wikileaks stuff. But before Tom could answer, Peter felt it appropriate to note the solemnity of the moment. And Tom responds with good humour. Click the AudioBoo link below:
