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.

Pastor Dafydd Hughes concludes the series in Luke’s Gospel with a sermon on Luke 24:50–53, reflecting on the ascension of Jesus and the transformation of the disciples from fear and confusion to worship, joy, and praise. The message explores Christ’s blessing of his disciples, his fulfilment of the Old Testament promises, and the significance of his death, resurrection, and ascension as the completed work of salvation. Drawing connections between the beginning and ending of Luke’s Gospel, the sermon considers the temple, priesthood, atonement, and Christ’s ongoing intercession for his people. It closes with a call to respond to the word of God concerning Jesus Christ with faith, receiving the joy and blessing found in him. Produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of NZ On Air.
