A computer executable program manager is provided which simplifies activating programs from multiple programming sources. Each program identified as a favorite program, regardless of its source, is included in a hierarchy which is organized by program subject matter. The program manager displays a single presentation of the hierarchy of the diverse programs selected from the variety of programming sources. A user is able to easily activate a program included in the hierarchy either manually or automatically. Programs are added to and removed from the hierarchy either manually or automatically based on activation patterns.
