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.

Graham & Marie talk with Mike Powell from Bell Block & District Lions about his involvement in Lions, He also talks about the Leos – junior lions and what they are doing and the leadership skills that they develop. The activities that are involved in doing fundraising for projects that they are supporting – like the recent donations to the New Cancer Unit. And the current fundraising events like the annual used books sale and sausage sizzles etc. It was all so interesting that we almost lost time and even the ART FM’s Programme Director was lost in the dialog.

Christian themed sermon and music with Pastor Joel Shoaf
Mike and James take a look at the “avoid anything pagan” impulse in some Christian circles. They examine why this approach quickly becomes inconsistent, burdensome, and divisive, and how it shifts focus away from what genuinely deserves attention. They also consider Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 8, which challenges the idea that a thing’s origins automatically determine its moral value.
