2. On devices and applications, such as Roku Local Shows, Android TV Home screen, iOS/Android localized programs, and the Android TV programs page.
3. The first local show of each genre in your list in the third show slot for the “More like this” list at the bottom of Show and Video pages on [PBS apps](https://help.pbs.org/support/solutions/articles/12000080831-what-devices-support-the-pbs-app-) and web.
