A basic goal for any TV show is to "win" its timeslot for the network by having the highest ratings, and thus the highest ad revenue. However, there are some battles you just can't win: "Appointment Television" or "must-see TV" events such as sports championships, Award Shows, and major premieres/finales are going to win their timeslots no matter what the other networks air.
In response, the other networks may not even try to compete for ratings and instead look for the least expensive way to fill that airtime. Often, this means reruns of a popular show, a movie marathon, or something else with extremely low production costs. Affiliated networks may actively seek out their worst programming to avoid interfering with the dominant program's ratings, or even direct viewers to the other channel rather than competing at all.
A variant is scheduling something special during such an event, often during a break in the action. For the Super Bowl, this often meant an alternative during the halftime break (although this practice has fell out of favor when the NFL began to make efforts to invite major musicians to play the halftime show rather than performance ensembles such as Up With People).
These are sometimes used to fill a Friday Night Death Slot.

Just prior to the final episode of The Late Show with David Letterman (which aired on May 20, 2015 on CBS), Conan O'Brien told the audience some fond memories about Letterman's help during his early career, then advised the people watching his show at home during the opening monologue to switch over and watch the episode instead of his; this was an easy call as the shows only overlapped by 25 minutes.

Inversion: In 1986, The Cosby Show was prime time's number one show. It couldn't fail even when it was in summer repeats as CBS ran a six-week prime time edition of The Price Is Right against it; the ratings for Price were only one-third of what Cosby was earning.

Parodied on Late Night With Conan O'Brien; when the Winter Olympics in Nagano were on CBS against his show, Conan decided that they could do pretty much anything they wanted "because nobody's watching". Antics ensued, such as Conan and Andy smoking cigarettes, Conan confessing that he wore a Hanson t-shirt under his suit, along with his hatred for the NBC logo in the corner of the screen (proceeding to douse it with bug spray), Max Weinberg confessing that he murdered Bruce Springsteen's drummer (and other people he didn't like), and Al Roker stopping by to confess that he had no interest in being a weatherman, and thought the job would lead to an acting career.
He did a similar sketch in May 2001 after realizing that NBC's coverage of an NBA playoff game had likely preempted his show into a later time slot than usual. This time, Conan confessed that most of his production staff were kids, he listened to an album called "Cuddle Tunes" in bed, the entire universe was the product of James Van Der Beek's thoughts, and Joel Godard shared a clip of his new "film" Stripes of Honor.

The US version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? actually benefited from low ratings expectations for its timeslot. ABC aired it Thursdays at 8:00 (7:00 Central), opposite Friends on NBC and Survivor on CBS. ABC knew Whose Line was cheap to produce and had a dedicated fanbase that would produce consistent ratings, and the show lasted longer there than it would have in a timeslot with higher overall expectations.

Dancing with the Stars was made a Disney+ original the previous year, but when the WGA strike began it was rearranged to air live on both Disney+ and ABC to fill airtime for the latter network. In an almost subversion, it was nearly delayed after contestant Matt Walsh paused his involvement - with less than a week to air - until agreements were made with AMPTP. Four days later, the strike officially ended and he returned to competition... only to be eliminated in the first episode.

San Jose's PBS affiliate KTEH, on the other hand, showed some of the anime shows they had, such as Serial Experiments Lain and Neon Genesis Evangelionnote they were known to run anime in the late 90s and early 2000s, even being the first American channel to run Evangelion, in place of their broadcasts of The Travel Auction, with scrolling messages throughout giving condolences to those affected and urging viewers to donate blood to the American Red Cross.

Disney Channel broadcast an airing of High School Musical opposite Fox's remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This choice may have been an intentional joke on Disney's part, since Kenny Ortega was involved with both productions.

Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the Fall 2023 season on broadcast television was loaded with programming that, if not unscripted, was either this (Yellowstone, Abbott Elementary) or outsourced from other countries (Transplant, any of the CBC programming airing on The CW).
It was also for this reason that The Masked Singer began fast-tracking production on its 11th season mere weeks after wrapping the 10th, and before the latter season even started airing. This caused a bit of conflict for judge Nicole Scherzinger, who at the time of the 11th season's production was in London starring in a new West End production of Sunset Boulevard; Rita Ora was later announced to fill in for her.
Dancing with the Stars was made a Disney+ original the previous year, but when the WGA strike began it was rearranged to air live on both Disney+ and ABC to fill airtime for the latter network. In an almost subversion, it was nearly delayed after contestant Matt Walsh paused his involvement - with less than a week to air - until agreements were made with AMPTP. Four days later, the strike officially ended and he returned to competition... only to be eliminated in the first episode.

On September 2, 2019, the premiere date of the enormously-hyped Steven Universe: The Movie, Nick and Disney competed against it:
Disney aired the Descendants trilogy to counter-program it.
Nick's is an interesting case. They aired a sneak peek of their four-episode mini-series, Middle School Moguls, directly after the movie. However, people were too excited about the movie and posting about it online to watch it.

On the day of the first half of The Voice's eleventh season finale, all of Turner's channels decided to show different marathons to compete against it:
TBS showed a marathon of Seth McFarlane's animated shows, which started at 2:00PM as opposed to their usual 5:00PM timeslot on Mondays.
TNT showed The Wizard of Oz three times in a row.
Cartoon Network once again showed a Teen Titans Go! marathon.
Boomerang showed a marathon of Scooby-Doo films.

Infamously, Channel 5 ran several family-oriented movies, including The Emoji Movie, against Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, so that kids would have an alternative entertainment option. This was likely in response to complaints about programming that memorialized the queen pre-empting their children's programming block Milkshake!.

In 2012, the lead-out program for the Bowl was Glee. In Canada, while CTV has been the event's broadcaster for a while now, the broadcast rights to Glee were with Global (who, ironically, used to be the NFL's Canadian broadcaster) at the time. So Global put together a "Sue-Per Bowl Sunday" marathon of previous Glee episodes (along with Glee-themed episodes of The Simpsons and The Office) before the new episode, "The Sue Sylvester Shuffle". (CTV went with a new episode of their in-house production Flashpoint as their lead-out program.)

It was also for this reason that The Masked Singer began fast-tracking production on its 11th season mere weeks after wrapping the 10th, and before the latter season even started airing. This caused a bit of conflict for judge Nicole Scherzinger, who at the time of the 11th season's production was in London starring in a new West End production of Sunset Boulevard; Rita Ora was later announced to fill in for her.

One of the few bits of original programming that did air in the week following the tragedy was, of all things, Professional Wrestling: in a widely criticized move, the WWF held a special live edition of SmackDown! just two days after 9/11, featuring exhibition matches (with no storylines advanced) to entertain the fans. Vince McMahon came out at the top of the show to beam with pride that it was the first such large gathering since the attacks (which was true, as most sporting events in the immediate wake of the attack were postponed or canceled), and painted it as a defiant statement against fear of terrorism. Incidentally, the reason that SmackDown! was a "special live edition" was that the show was originally scheduled to tape on Tuesday... September 11. That event, naturally, got cancelled.

Golf Channel tends to broadcast golf-related movies such as Tin Cup, The Legend of Bagger Vance and The Greatest Game Ever Played, or in some cases, a marathon of Feherty, when another channel is broadcasting coverage of a major tournament (usually out of respect, there are no other golf events going on against majors).

Antena 3, one of Spain's biggest three channels, is often criticized for re-broadcasting movies they've already aired, or simply putting in a cheap movie nobody cares about, on Thursday nights against Telecinco's long-established reality shows (which include the likes of the Spanish versions of Big Brother and Survivor), to the point that occasionally Telecinco itself will exploit it by programming 'special' episodes of these reality shows at other points of the week with the intention of sinking the ratings of Antena 3's newest shows.

NBC breaks out "Vintage" Saturday Night Live when they have absolutely nothing else to stick in the 10PM Saturday night slot or, for instance, against the World Series. These tend to be recent if planned - but if NBC's own intended sporting event is cancelled they break out the original-cast episodes from The '70s.

American networks used to attempt to compete with whoever had the contract for the current Super Bowl — most often airing a special against the halftime show. The practice was codified in 1992 when Fox (in)famously aired a live In Living Color! special and managed to steal away at least 20 million viewers, prompting the NFL to bring in the big guns the following year. Nowadays, as viewership of the halftime shows are just as massive as the game itself, they don't even try. However, in 2010, Fox sacrificed new episodes of 'Til Death to the Super Bowl. The show's U.S. run was on it's last legs, and its distributor had given Fox a discount just so they could rack up enough episodes for syndication.

Doctor Who, especially in it's native United Kingdom:
The series 4 finale "Journey's End" was hyped weeks before it was aired, with the excitement level growing exponentially. It had an expected viewership of 10 million, so The BBC's rival ITV showed Kindergarten Cop against it.
ITV did actually put some effort into competing against Doctor Who in the show's first relaunched season in 2005. Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway aired against the first four episodes of the revival, and while it didn't beat Doctor Who, it still performed pretty well in the ratings, all things considered. ITV's next effort Celebrity Wrestling crashed and burned in the ratings, though, and became a national joke within days. ITV subsequently realized that shows like Saturday Night Takeaway were best saved for when the BBC themselves were broadcasting No Hoper Repeats, and since then have mostly aired old films and clip shows against Doctor Who.
Ironically, Doctor Who was itself an example of this trope when it was broadcast against ITV's Coronation Street from 1987-1989.

Subverted by The Funday Pawpet Show, which usually ran on Sunday nights. The cast of the (Internet-based) show quickly gathered together that Tuesday night and did a live broadcast discussing the incident and calming people down. Both out of respect and the fact that it wasn't a 'show' per se, it was not recorded by the creators. The only known recording was viewer-made.

During the fifteenth series of Top Gear, the trio knew that one of their episodes was going to go out against The World Cup Final on both BBC and ITV. Figuring no-one would be watching, they didn't put much effort into the episode, which didn't even include a Power Lap, although it did contain two Star-in-a-Reasonably-Priced-Car records being broken: Rubens Barrichello on the F1 leaderboard, and Rupert Grint in the Cee'd (and breaking the Liana and Lacetti records before it). The following week, Jeremy Clarkson admitted even he didn't watch that episode, as he was in Johannesburg at the final at the time. A similar thing happened again when they realized they were in a losing fight against BBC Sports Personality Of The Year.

On May 14, 2022, when the final episode of Amphibia premiered on Disney Channel, at least two other channels counterprogrammed it with marathons of their shows:

Cartoon Network showed an all-day Teen Titans Go! marathon, followed by the premiere of the miniseries Aquaman: King Of Atlantis and the new Teen Titans Go! episode "Finding Aquaman".

For several years, the American Idol finale was a one-episode wrecking crew guaranteed to wipe out any competitor that dared to face it.
After years of being on Sunday for such a reason, CBS decided that diminishing ratings for Idol finally made it safe to put the season finale of Survivor (resuming with Cagayan) on a weekday.
Fox counterprogrammed the premiere of the ABC revival by showing O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession?, a special featuring footage from a cancelled O.J. interview special for his book If I Did It, in which he hypothetically described how he would have performed the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, if he were the one responsible. The special was supposed to air in 2005, nearly 13 years earlier.

When Johnny Carson aired his final episode as host of The Tonight Show, Comedy Central aired a 90-minute live feed of a bottle of Tabasco sauce in an empty talk show set. McIlheney's Tabasco Sauce was the only advertiser crazy enough to sponsor the channel's Dadaist tribute to a legendary comedian.

On April 18, 2020, three of the Big Four networks aired the benefit special One World: Together at Home, but Fox didn't participate, having already broadcast the iHeart Living Room Concert for America weeks before. They ended up scheduling repeats of 9-1-1 and Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back opposite One World.
