Feeding Frenzy (TV series)

Feeding Frenzy was an Australian television comedy series that aired on the Nine Network in 2001. The series was created by Andrew Knight and produced by Artist Services.

The show satirized the Australian media landscape, focusing on the cutthroat world of tabloid television news. The central characters are the staff of "The Rundown," a low-rating, sensationalist current affairs program. The series follows their often unethical and absurd attempts to boost ratings, frequently at the expense of accuracy and journalistic integrity.

Key themes explored in Feeding Frenzy include media manipulation, the pursuit of ratings at any cost, and the blurring of lines between news and entertainment. The show aimed to expose the superficiality and sensationalism that can sometimes characterize television news reporting.

The cast included prominent Australian actors such as Samuel Johnson, Kym Wilson, and Susie Porter. Despite its satirical and comedic approach, the show received mixed reviews and was not a long-running success. It is remembered for its sharp commentary on the evolving nature of news media in Australia.
