Broadcast history[]
The first five episodes of Grojband aired on Boomerang on June 25, 2013 [1] in a special airing, which aired in order to promote the series's airings on Cartoon Network. After that, Grojband was removed from Boomerang's line-up, and was not shown on Boomerang again until January 10, 2015, when the series returned to Boomerang's line-up. Airing weekend afternoons at 1:30 pm, Grojband, along with another Canadian flash cartoon, Numb Chucks, became one of the first shows to air new episodes on Boomerang for the channel's rebrand, which started on January 19, 2015. Boomerang aired all of the episodes that had already aired on Cartoon Network from January 10, 2015 [2] until February 17, 2015.

Re-runs of Grojband continued airing on Boomerang until July 12, 2015, when it and Numb Chucks were removed from Boomerang's line-up entirely.
