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.

Welcome back to the Youth Action Group podcast! In this chaotic episode, we kick things off with The Debate Club (but dumb)—where we argue hot topics like hot chocolate (water or milk?!) with absolutely zero research. Then it’s time for Weirdest Shopping Spree, sharing the most unhinged purchases we’ve made or witnessed. Next, we get creative in DIY & Deep Thoughts, building Lego, making jewellery, and answering each others questions Finally, we test our music knowledge in Finish That Lyric… with mixed success. It’s messy, it’s funny, and it makes very little sense—just how we like it. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - oar.org.nz and made thanks to the support of NZ on Air.
