Which U.S. TV network has aired Grey's Anatomy since its 2005 premiere?

The story behind the answer

Which U.S. TV network has aired Grey’s Anatomy since its 2005 premiere? ABC has aired the series since its premiere.

The medical drama debuted on ABC on March 27, 2005, as a midseason replacement. It was created by Shonda Rhimes and became one of the network’s signature scripted series, remaining associated with ABC through its long run.

A common mix-up comes from ABC’s corporate and production relationships. The program has involved companies such as Touchstone Television, ABC Studios, ABC Signature, Shondaland, and later Entertainment One, but those are production or distribution entities—not the U.S. broadcast network named in the question.

The show’s popularity also helped turn ABC’s Thursday-night programming into a major television destination during its early years. Its network home is distinct from the many streaming and international services that later made episodes available.
