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.

Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

The Deadline Report - Ben Vidgen Investigates. A double shot of reality.
In this episode, Mike and James explore the idea of church buildings as “sacred space” and ask the question: Is church holy ground? Looking at the teachings of Jesus, the practices of the early church, and the broader trajectory of the New Testament, they examine whether certain modern definitions of reverence truly reflect the biblical picture of worship, or whether they stem more from tradition than Scripture.
