Community Access Media Alliance is the national body for the 12 independently-owned Community Access Media stations across Aotearoa. Our vision is for Aotearoa to have a vibrant, diverse, innovative, and sustainable Community Access Media sector valued for its democratic, community, and cultural uniqueness.
Wanting to be a broadcaster, radio host, content-creator, programme-maker, show-maker, or podcaster? Our 12 stations can help you make your own media. On-air or online, radio is a simple and inexpensive way to talk to your community-of-interest in any language.
Whether you’re a government entity, NGO, non-profit, company, or organisation, we can help you tailor your messages to speak directly and authentically to your target audience – in their language.
Now more than ever, local voices need to be heard. We’re building a more inclusive media landscape — one where everyone has access to create, participate, and thrive. But we can’t do it without you.

In this episode, we meet Rev Jessie, an Anglican vicar from Upper Hutt, who shares her transformative journey from addiction to the ministry. Her story illustrates that hitting rock bottom often prepares us to serve others in ways we never previously imagined. With Easter approaching, Rev Jessie also guides us through the significance of Holy Week—the spiritual path leading to Easter Sunday. As the most vital feast in the Christian calendar, it celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus and serves as a universal symbol of hope. Rev. Jessie’s life is a testament to the fact that we all have our own "resurrection stories" waiting to be told. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - http://oar.org.nz
