Sunrise host David 'Kochie' Koch is celebrating Sunrise's milestone victory as Australia's number one breakfast show for the 18th year in a row.
The Channel Seven program ranked number one in the breakfast timeslot after the conclusion of the official survey ratings.
The 65-year-old told The Daily Telegraph on Saturday the show's 18th year at the top is a milestone moment that he, his co-hosts and the crew are proud of achieving.

'We are really grateful for the support and loyalty of our viewers who have allowed us into their households,' he said.
There have been a handful of days this year where Channel Nine's Today show narrowly beat Sunrise's usually strong ratings.
But, the minor defeats have not been enough to shake Kochie's pride in Sunrise's achievement as he took a thinly-veiled swipe at the competition.

Still on top: Kochie said, 'We are very proud of what we achieve as a team so you get pretty annoyed when others try and rewrite history when you know that they haven't been No. 1 in 18 years,' he added of the rivals. Pictured are Today hosts Karl Stefanovic
