The John Allan Cameron Show was one of three musical series under the umbrella title of Trilogy. This self-titled variety half-hour was devoted to the Scottish and Irish musical tradition of the Maritimes. The singing host was backed by a bunch of fiddlers who called themselves the Cape Breton Symphony. The show was produced in Montreal and aired nationally on CTV for 17 weeks in 1975.

CBC picked up John Allan Cameron for a series from 1979 to 1981. Produced in Halifax, the show featured comic sketches written on the premise of Cameron's desire to be a sports hero or a Hollywood star.
