Featured programs included:

* "The Big Toke", a "cannabis comedy hour"
* "The Grow Show"

== Current status ==

The station was originally funded with revenues from Marc Emery's marijuana seed selling business. Following the arrest of Emery and the end of his seed sales in 2005 Pot TV's budget was reduced dramatically, with staff and funding for new content cut. However, using user-generated content in conjunction with modern video tools like YouTube and BitTorrent, the station has been able to reduce streaming costs and continue to provide access to new content.

As of 2011 Pot TV has been producing several live shows per day from Vancouver and Toronto including on-location coverage of cannabis events.
