Happens four times a year (February, May, July and November), but you always know when they're here, because incredibly obvious [[RatingsStunt programming stunts]] abound -- news programs start running features like "[[CouldThisHappenToYou Group Sex In Our Community]]" and [[SpecialGuest Special Guests]] pop up on ''every'' SitCom. Local news programs are probably the most notorious for this; locally-made programming makes far more money for the station (since they don't have to share with the network), and these days, news programs are usually the only local content a station has, so the ad blitz goes there.

It's rare to see a rerun during sweeps. It's rare to see a new episode in any other month. Almost all reality series will try to have either their premieres or finales during these periods, often both through straddling two periods, if possible.
