NEW YORK â€" Nearly four years after they clashed in a memorable TV interview, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Katie Couric face off again â€" this time on a morning-show battle.

Viewers will cast their votes with their clickers today.

If you’re a Couric fan who misses those bygone mornings on the “Today” show, then click to “Good Morning America,” where Couric, now an ABC star, is subbing all week for co-host Robin Roberts.

But maybe you love the “mama grizzly” panache of Palin. And maybe you’re still miffed by how Couric, then anchoring the “CBS Evening News,” went to town on Palin during the 2008 presidential race. Then tune into NBC’s “Today,” where, during the 8 a.m. hour, Palin will serve as a guest host at Couric’s old haunt.

Welcoming the former Alaska governor to Studio 1A is the “Today” show’s brashest counter-move after “GMA,” the scrappy ratings runner-up, announced Couric’s fill-in role last week.
