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 helps the sector keep the mics on:
Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

Dos jóvenes profesionales colombianos llegaron a Nueva Zelanda con un plan claro: trabajar, ahorrar, aprender inglés y ver hasta dónde podían llegar lejos de casa. Dos maletas, un idioma a medias y muchas ganas. Queenstown se volvió su base. Trabajos que no eran los suyos, días largos, una vida migrante que iba tomando forma… hasta que algo pasó. Sin aviso. Y nada volvió a ser igual. Un evento inesperado puso todo patas arriba: planes, ritmo, futuro. Lo que parecía una historia de migración más se convirtió en otra cosa. Este episodio no va de dinero ni de “lograrlo”. Va de cuando todo se desarma y toca aferrarse a lo que uno no pensaba, pero sostiene. Si esta historia te toca, Nelson necesita apoyo para continuar su proceso de recuperación. 👉 https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/nelsons-rehab

This week I'll mark some milestones for 60s artists, hopefully have some requests and blast out some favourites of the greatest decade of music ever. Travel back to the greatest decade of music ever. Songs you haven't heard for a while or maybe never before. Tune in and be surprised.
Originally started by Peter Furler and George Perdikis in 1985, Newsboys are such an enduring mainstay of Christian rock that the band is still going strong absent any of the original members. Over that 40 year career, their sound has changed so drastically that if you say that you either love or hate Newsboys, the only logical response is "which Newsboys?" In addition, if you are a Kiwi or Aussie of approximately my vintage, you probably know their song "Take Me To Your Leader" which was a brief crossover hit here, and will earworm you for weeks if you go and look it up. For my first new episode of 2026, I'm joined by the illustrious Josh Boerman from Worst Of All Possible Worlds and Ill Conceived, who grew up in the evangelical world that spawned and nurtured this strange (and now kind of evil) band so that he can explain The Phenomenon. Produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand On Air.
