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.

For Content-Makers

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.

Reach your audience

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.

Support CAMA

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 helps the sector keep the mics on:

  • 🎙️ Funders: Invest in inclusion, resilience, and social impact.
  • 📻 Listeners: Back the sector that helps communities create content that reflects your community.
  • 🤝 Businesses: Show your support for diversity, localism, and public good
