They’ve endured a bitter rivalry over breakfast TV ratings for more that a decade.
And Sunrise’s David Koch hasn’t been able to resist the opportunity to take another swipe at Today, mocking rumours Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson were not friends.
During an appearance on Fitzy and Wippa’s Nova breakfast show on Friday, Kochie quipped he and Samantha were ‘still together, both privately and professionally’ – unlike Karl and Lisa.

It’s not the first time Sunrise have seized on the chance to make fun of Today’s highly-publicised woes.
During a Sydney charity event in October Samantha remarked that her and Kochie were ‘very good value for money’ and their bosses had ‘plenty of money’.
