Worlds will collide in Seattle once again, as ABC is set to air a TGIT crossover event on Thursday, May 2, featuring all-new episodes of “Grey's Anatomy” and “Station 19” from 8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT.

“Station 19” has been given a full-season order, Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment, announced today.

Delivering best-ever lead-in retention out of “Grey's Anatomy” at 9:00 p.m. on Thursday (87%) against increased competition from a stronger “Thursday Night Football” game (Eagles-NY Giants) on Fox, “Station 19”'s crossover episode with “Grey's” made ABC the entertainment leader in the hour among Adults 18-49 (1.3/5), beating out comedies on CBS by 8% (“Mom”/”Murphy Brown” = 1.2/5) and on NBC by 86% (“Will & Grace”/”I Feel Bad” = 0.7/3).
