Recommendations on YouTube TV

Recommended programmes on YouTube TV are based on your actions on YouTube TV and across other Google products, like YouTube.

How recommendations work

YouTube TV uses your watch history and recorded shows to make recommendations (learn more about
managing your YouTube TV search and watch history). It also factors in what is trending or popular in your location. Recommendations will include live programmes and suggestions to add to your library. The more you add, the more YouTube TV can surface relevant programmes for you to enjoy. 

How YouTube TV uses Google data to drive recommendations

To create your recommendations, YouTube TV uses imported data from across a few Google properties (web search, Chrome, etc). You can manage which data YouTube TV sources from at myactivity.google.com.
