An apparatus for generating content program recommendations comprises a meta-data processor (209) which provides characterising data for a plurality of content programs. A context processor (215) provides first context data for a user and a time window processor (213) determines a content consumption time window for the user in response to the first context data. The content consumption time window represents an estimated time window available to the user for consuming content. A recommendation unit (207) then generates a content program recommendation comprising in response to the content consumption time window and the characterising data. The invention may be particularly advantageous for mobile content program distribution services, such as a mobile television service, as recommendations may be generated that take into account the particular characteristics of the mobile user environment. Specifically, the recommendation can take into account the increased probability of a disruption to the consumption experience caused by external factors.
