ABC breakfast host Michael Rowland began his career with the broadcaster in the 1990s.
But on Thursday, the popular host, 55, dropped a breakfast TV bombshell.
Michael shared an image to Instagram of himself sitting behind the desk at rival network Channel Nine’s Today show.
‘Nice desk! Don’t worry, I still wake up with News Breakfast,’ he captioned the post.
Today host Karl Stefanovic jokingly responded: ‘Look it’s about time we had a credible male anchor. Love your work legend.’

Last year, Michael said wants to be the next ‘king’ of Australian TV.
He said he is out to beat the 21 years David ‘Kochie’ Koch spent as host of Seven’s Sunrise.
‘I want to smash Kochie’s record,’ he joked about the retired Seven star in an interview with TV Tonight.
Michael has already spent 15 on the couch at News Breakfast, and he believes he is good for another eight, which will beat Koch’s record.

‘I’m feeling probably the fittest I felt in a few years,’ said Michael, who co-hosts News Breakfast with Lisa Millar.
‘You have peaks and troughs doing crazy hours,’ he added.
‘But I love the show. I’ve always told people It’s the best job in broadcast TV…I’m so lucky to be in this position. I’m loving it. Watch out Kochie I’m coming for your record.’
