The Voice of Greece is a Greek television talent show with its first season premiering on January 10, 2014 on ANT1 (Cyprus and Greece). Based on the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, the series was created by Dutch television producer John de Mol. It is part of an international series. The coaches of the show are currently Panos Mouzourakis, Elena Paparizou, Sakis Rouvas and Kostis Maravegias. Giorgos Kapoutzidis is hosting the show while Eleni is the backstage and social networking corresponding usually referred as the "V Reporter".
There are four different stages to the show: producers' auditions, blind auditions, battle phase and live shows. Producers' auditions take place in Athens and Thesalloniki in Greece and in Nicosia in Cyprus. The rest stages are taking place in the Kapa Studios, in Spata, Attica.
Maria Elena Kiriakou and Kostas Ageris are currently the two winners produced by the series. The show was renewed for a second season that premiered during the 2014–2015 season along with a kids version of the show, which was later canceled.Skai later bought the rights for the show and on the third season the winner was Giannis Margaris.
A month after the premiere of the show, Mega Channel Cyprus announced the premiere of their talent show, Your Song, that was rumored to be broadcast in the Greek channel also, opposite The Voice of Greece. Even though the show was not broadcast by the Greek channel, in March 2014 the broadcaster confirmed the second season of the reality singing competition Just the Two of Us hosted by Zeta Makripoulia who hosted the first to third seasons of Dancing with the Stars.
