Sunrise’s David Koch yesterday told viewers that it was “now time to work some business hours, I reckon, and have a bit of flexibility”. That includes carving out time to focus on his business/finance publishing business Pinstripe Media and his role as chairman of the AFL’s Port Adelaide Football Club. After 21 years of 3am starts, he said “I’m frankly finding it harder to get off the ground to take those … marks, and I think it’s time to bring through the next generation.” Seven West Media boss James Warburton wished him well, but didn’t announce a replacement for ‘Kochie’ as speculation heats up. He will finish up on Friday next week. And a former brekkie host who will stay off the air for a bit longer is Lisa Wilkinson while inquiries and legal cases involving her reporting of accusations made by Brittany Higgins are ongoing.
