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.

In today’s kōrero, we are exploring another form of bullying: racism. We recognise that racism is not always named or understood as bullying, yet it can operate in similar ways, through repeated behaviours, systemic patterns, and impacts that diminish mana, safety, and wellbeing. This conversation is intentionally framed at a general level. As always, we are not seeking to identify specific workplaces or individuals, but rather to better understand the patterns, impacts, and changes needed to create culturally safe and respectful environments for our tangata whenua Māori social work leaders.

What does real church growth look like? In Acts 6:7, Luke pauses his account of the early church to give a remarkable report: “The word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem.” Despite internal challenges, the reality of sin, and growing opposition from religious authorities, God was blessing His church. In this episode, we explore the priority of the Word of God in the life and mission of the church. As the apostles devoted themselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word, the gospel spread with increasing power, reaching more people, producing more disciples, and transforming lives. The growth of the church was not merely numerical; it was the fruit of the Word faithfully preached and the Holy Spirit powerfully at work. We also consider the surprising note that “a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.” Even among those closely associated with the religious establishment, the gospel was breaking through hardened hearts and bringing people to Christ. This message reminds us that while we may long for days of extraordinary growth, our calling remains the same: to faithfully proclaim the gospel, trust God's sovereign work, and rejoice whenever even one sinner is brought to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. A radio show/podcast from Crosspoint Church produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.
