It's a difficult exercise. The French passive voice is not much like its English counterpart.

Isq it correct to say "par qui cette émission est recommandée?" Or do you need the "elle"?
Yes, you do need the "elle" in this construction.

"who is recommending this show" should suffice. No one in the history of the English language has ever said "By whom is this TV show recommended"

If you got it wrong it is likely because you used was instead of the present tense is. Otherwise your sentence is okay.

I thought that enough people have pointed out that an emmission is not just a TV show but any broadcast.
