David Koch ‘Kochie’ quits Sunrise

Sunrise host David Koch struggled to hold back the tears as he announced he is leaving the show after 21 years.

The longest-serving TV host in Australian history made the shock announcement on Monday morning, beside his emotional co-host Natalie Barr. 

‘I have loved every single minute of it and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved here over the last 21 years,’ Kochie told viewers. 

‘I started here before Facebook, before Instagram, before Twitter and iPhones. That’s how old I am. I have loved every single minute of it and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved here over the last 21 years.

‘I’ve been privileged to experience so many great adventures, to meet so many different people and to meet so many different people and to cover so many moments of history in the making’.
