This has been happening to me also. I've removed the Roku channel and re-installed it, attempted to delete the offending programming - usually OAN, Fox, Newsmax etc., all programming my elderly father watches while staying with me and the shows remain.
Last month, Roku placed these and similar programs in the Featured live TV line and apparently, enough people complained and asked that the shows be removed. it took a bit, but Roku finally removed the unwanted content. It appears it's time for that to happen again.
Also, I'd like an option that once a channel - OAN for example is removed - it CANNOT be resurrected. I block that BS for a reason. I DO NOT want it. How do I get this point to stick with the folks at Roku??!!

Eunice - I've taken the app off and added it back on my TV and that does nothing. I've also gone online to my Roku account to the live channel. I can temporarily remove the offending trash from the recently watched line, but after a short time, it returns - even on my online Roku account. It's almost as if these programs are resistent to being taken off. If their programming weren't so flawed and erroneuos, I wouldn't have a problem keeping it in the queue. However, it's nothing but a bunch of misleading lies and misinformation. I DO NOT want it on my TV - PERIOD!
Eunice -
My Phillips Roku TV is model # 32PFL4664/F7A. Software version is 12.5.5 Build 4174-63 and the Tracker ID number I got when I tried to remove the Recently Watched content on the Roku Channel was ID 70-069-214.
Basically, I want to remove Newsmax2, OAN, Real America's Voice, Fox News Now or any other right wing **bleep** from the See All line on the recently watched segment from the Roku channel that my elderly father watches when he's staying at my house.
Thank you for providing these details here in the Roku Community!
