“Why so sudden?” say Christine Bentley fans

As might have been expected, the post related to the retirement of Christine Bentley has been well read. Both here at the South Bayview Bulldog and across the Internet a theme emerged. Viewers were naturally sorry to know a favorite anchor was leaving, but almost as common was a kind consternation that it was happening so suddenly. The long goodbye type of departures seen in the retirement of anchors like Lloyd Robertson and weatherman Dave Devall seem the norm. Journalistic particulars aside, Bentley is easily as popular as any long-serving CTV anchor. Christine herself has not of course made any comment on this matter.  This will be her choice no doubt.
