Finding the Turning Point Halftime Show on YouTube TV
The Turning Point halftime show airs live during the college football game it's attached to, and YouTube TV carries the broadcast that includes it. You watch it the same way you'd watch any live game on YouTube TV—by tuning to the channel airing the game at kickoff time, then staying tuned through halftime. The show is not a separate program you search for; it's part of the game broadcast itself.
YouTube TV's live guide shows you which games are coming up and which networks carry them. Open the YouTube TV app or website, go to the Live tab, and look for college football games in your guide. When you find the game with the Turning Point halftime show, click it to watch. The broadcast runs continuously from pregame through postgame, so you don't need to do anything special to see halftime—just keep the channel on.

Which Networks Carry College Football Games on YouTube TV
College football games air on several networks that YouTube TV includes in its standard package: ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS, and Fox. The Turning Point halftime show appears during games on these networks, so the channel you need depends on which network is broadcasting that particular game. Your YouTube TV guide tells you which network carries each game before it starts.
Some games also air on specialty channels like ESPNU or SEC Network, which are available on YouTube TV but may require checking your channel list to confirm they're in your package. Regional sports networks occasionally carry games too. The easiest way to find the right channel is to search for the game by team name or date in YouTube TV's search function—it will show you the network and time.
How to Use YouTube TV's Live Guide to Find Games
Open YouTube TV on your phone, tablet, computer, or TV device and tap or click the Live tab at the bottom of the screen. This shows you all channels and programs currently broadcasting. Scroll down to find college football games, or use the search bar at the top to type in a team name or the word "football" to filter the guide.
Once you find the game you want, click on it to see more details: the time, the network, and a description. If the game hasn't started yet, you can click "Set reminder" to get a notification when it's about to begin. When the game starts, click the listing to open the live broadcast and watch it full-screen.
Watching on Different Devices
YouTube TV works on phones and tablets through the YouTube TV app (available on iOS and Android), on computers through a web browser at tv.youtube.com, and on TV devices including Roku, Apple TV, Google TV, Fire TV, and Samsung Smart TVs. The app is the same across all devices—your login works everywhere, and you can start watching on one device and pick up on another.
If you're watching on a phone or tablet, you can cast the broadcast to a TV using Chromecast or AirPlay if your TV supports it. On a computer, you can use a HDMI cable to connect to a TV, or use your browser's built-in casting feature if you have a compatible TV device. The broadcast quality depends on your internet speed; YouTube TV recommends at least 3 Mbps for standard definition and 7 Mbps for HD.
What to Do If the Game Isn't Showing in Your Area
YouTube TV's channel lineup varies slightly by region, and some games have blackout restrictions based on where you are. If you search for a game and it doesn't appear in your guide, it may not be broadcasting in your area, or it may be on a channel YouTube TV doesn't carry in your region.
You can check your specific channel list by going to Settings in YouTube TV, then Channels, to see which networks and sports channels are available to you. If a game is blacked out in your area, it's usually because a local or regional network has exclusive rights to broadcast it. In that case, you may need to watch through that network's app or website instead.
Recording Games to Watch Later
YouTube TV includes unlimited cloud storage for recordings, so you can record any game and watch it later. When you find a game in the guide, click the plus icon or the record button next to the listing. The entire broadcast—pregame, game, halftime, and postgame—will be saved to your library.
To find your recordings, go to the Library tab in YouTube TV and look for the game under "Sports" or search by team name. You can watch the recording anytime within nine months of the original broadcast date. If you want to skip ahead to halftime, you can fast-forward through the game itself, though YouTube TV doesn't let you skip directly to a specific moment in a live recording.
