A campaign to save Station 19 is ongoing as fans try to keep their show on television.
The hashtag #SaveStation19 continues being used by fans on social media following the sad news that ABC had canceled the firefighting drama.
And that’s just part of the effort to convince ABC or another network to order Station 19 Season 8.
Station 19 is a spin-off from Grey’s Anatomy, focusing on a fire station in Seattle that works closely with Grey Sloan Memory Hospital.
Having two shows in Seattle has allowed for some exciting crossover episodes. One crossover involved Station 19 dealing with a car accident and forest fire, and Grey’s Anatomy then treating those patients.
Unfortunately, if Station 19 remains canceled, the hopes of future crossovers are dashed.
The #SaveStation19 campaign
While Station 19 fans are trying to have their voices heard on social media, they have undertaken additional steps to bring attention to their quest.
A petition to save Station 19 now has more than 77,500 signatures.
“The TV show #Station19 is being cancelled and we are fighting to save it!” begins the petition started by Susan Carrington.
“Station 19 is a Grey’s Anatomy spinoff that focuses on the lives and stories of BIPOC & LGBTQ characters. The representation of diverse races, genders, sexual orientations, and lived experiences is evident in its cast and crew which is rare and desperately needed on TV today. Further, the show expertly tackles multiple social and political issues through award-winning writing that leaves lasting impacts on their viewing audience,” reads more of the petition.
It has also been revealed that Station 19 fans have organized a plane flyover at ABC and Walt Disney Studios in Burbank.
A billboard in Times Square also went up on New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day to possibly save the show.
Below is another social media video showcasing that billboard.
