Grey's Anatomy in the Euro Republics

In the Euro Republics, Grey's Anatomy has been broadcast on TV3 since 2005, and is repeated on TV4 and Five. It is normally aired in the Friday 9pm slot. It's production company Shondaland also co-produces TV3's homegrown medical soap Complications.

TV3
Grey's Anatomy 's debut on TV3 saw it placed as a flagship of the channel's Autumn 2005 schedule, designed to shake up the channel to appeal to a younger and more upmarket audience. The first series was broadcast at 10pm on Monday evenings beginning on 5th September 2005, following Silverthorne and preceding Nightline.

The show's popularity on Monday nights led to the show moving when Series 2 premiered to the Thursday 9pm slot. TV3 had difficulty replacing Friends and Frasier in the slots when they ended in 2004, leading TV3 to move Grey's to 9pm Thursday to boost ratings and to provide a strong lead-in to ER, it's competitor medical drama series.

Grey's Anatomy moved to TV3's 9pm Thursday slot beginning from 5th January 2006, followed by the return of ER. The following week saw the debut of British drama series Life on Mars at 8pm as a lead-in - ironically the short-lived US adaption on ABC followed Grey's Anatomy in the US schedule.

Beginning in April 2010, Private Practise moved to TV3 running in the 10pm Thursday slot vacated by the loss of ER.

TV4
The relaunch of ZTV as TV4 in October 2007 saw Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practise join the schedule. The first two seasons were aired on Fridays at 9pm, preceded by a repeat of the previous night's episode of Grey's Anatomy as seen on TV3. At the time, it was the only primetime TV3 show to receive a next-night primetime repeat run on TV4. The block was preceded by Liquid News and followed during Autumn 2007 by The Office and 30 Rock, and from January 2008 by Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach.

Starting from Autumn 2009, Private Practice shifted to the 8pm timeslot, to allow TV4 to focus Friday nights more towards comedy programmes.

As of November 2023, TV4 is currently repeating early seasons of Grey's Anatomy on weekday afternoons at 3pm.
