How is the ĢƵ personalised to me?
On ĢƵ iPlayer
When you're signed in, we'll recommend programmes we think you'll like and re-order rows on the page, based on what you've already watched. Beyond the programmes in "Recommended for you", which are a personalised selection of iPlayer content, most of the rows on the page are tailored to your tastes and interests, either by selecting collections of programmes that are most relevant to you or re-ordering suggestions from our Editors.
We'll also remember how much of a programme you've watched. So you can pick up exactly where you left off, even on another device.
On ĢƵ Sounds
You can discover new sounds picked just for you through the Recommended For You section. You can also find even more personalised content in Discover Podcasts and Music You'll Love – in these rails content picked by our Editors has been ordered according to your taste.
We'll save your recent searches, so you can quickly find them again. You can turn your Search History off (and on again) at any time via your ĢƵ account settings.
You'll also have one-tap access to the latest episodes of ĢƵ podcasts and radio shows, and can bookmark episodes or clips to listen to later.
On the ĢƵ Sport app
is an easy way to keep up to date with the latest news and scores for the sports and teams you love.
Choose from over 300 sporting topics to create your own My Sport page. And sign in to access it across all your devices.
You can also choose to receive notifications about Football, Formula 1, Cricket, Rugby Union, Rugby League and the Latest Sport News.
On ĢƵ News
Sometimes we’ll recommend articles based on what you’ve read before, and what other people with similar tastes are reading.
We never hide stories from you, and the top stories can be easily accessed at all times.
On ĢƵ Weather
The ĢƵ Weather website and apps can give you tailored forecasts based on your favourite locations.
When you add a location, like your home town, we'll use it to give you the relevant local info. If you sign in to the ĢƵ your locations will be available across all of your devices.
We call your stored locations "My Locations". Find out more about “My Locations” in Weather.
On For you
'For you' brings the ĢƵ together in one place. Most of the content is personalised to you. It’s selected using an automated process, rather than chosen by editors.
You'll find content based on things you’ve already watched, listened to, read or followed. You’ll also find new, trending and popular content.
On streaks
Some ĢƵ products include “streaks”, which show how many times in a row you’ve completed an activity – such as playing a game, watching, listening, or learning. Depending on the product, these streaks might track consecutive days or a sequence of things you do.
If you use a product with streaks, we will keep track of your progress and the current length of your streak. We use this information to display your progress within the product and to send you optional reminders if you have switched them on.
You can manage your streak reminders at any time within the settings of the product you’re using. Your streak information is kept for as long as the streak feature is available.
On ĢƵ Children's
Kids can add their favourite shows and topics. This means they’ll appear at the top of CĢƵ and CBeebies pages, making it easier to find them.
On ĢƵ Bitesize
On the website, create your own learning experience by adding secondary or post-16 subjects and learner guides - which you can pick up where you left off.
In the revision app, you can add your GCSE, TGAU, National or Higher subjects to only see what’s relevant to you. Plus you can add short revision aids to your home screen so you can get back to them quickly.

We’re always adding new ways to make the ĢƵ your own. So look out for them across the ĢƵ.
