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

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

“I probably feel the fittest I’ve felt in a few years,” says Michael, who co-hosts News Breakfast with Lisa Millar.
“You have peaks and valleys during crazy hours,” he added.
“But I love the show. I’ve always told people this is the best job in television broadcasting. I’m so lucky to be in this position. I love it. Be careful Kochie, I’m coming for your criminal record.’
