'''''Mixy''''' was an [[Australian]] [[program block]] on the [[Australian Broadcasting Company|ABC]] that hosts Mixy Rabbit from [[The Ferals]]. After the Ferals' series ended, Mixy has been used as a host for her new program block and introducing the shows in the morning.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/TheFerals|title=Series / The Ferals|publisher=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]]|date=|first=|last=|accessdate=14 February 2020}}</ref>
