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.

Anaïs is originally from France. She first came to New Zealand to dive deeper into the winemaking of a New World wine country. One month after she arrived, COVID hit… and six years later, she’s still here. Her journey has evolved a lot since then. She still keeps one foot in the wine industry, but most of her energy now goes into wellness, yoga, massage, and nutrition. She loves being in nature, living van life, learning, taking courses (online or in person), and deepening her understanding of herself and the people around her.

Still Not Dead is a new show from Rachel McAlpine and Andrew London playing on Sunday, 14th December at the Kapiti Playhouse at 3:00pm. Hear from these two very funny and talented people talk about the upcoming show. And go book a seat. After recovering from a shocking epiphany (OMG I'm getting old!), popular poet Rachel McAlpine started unpicking the mysteries of old age. Results: a best-seller book of poems, How To Be Old. A sell-out play, The Secret Lives of Extremely Old People. A podcast, Learning How To Be Old. And it seems at 85 she's still not done and still not dead. She reads selections. On the cusp of receiving the mythical Gold Card, satirical songwriter/guitarist Andrew London and partner Kirsten assemble a selection of age-related songs from both original and borrowed repertoires, to compliment Ms McAlpine's meanderings. 'When I'm 64' is almost too obvious to include but... This show captures the varied and interesting events and people that we come across at Coast Access Radio.
