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.

Fear sells—and in some Christian circles, apocalyptic fear sells really well. In this episode, Mike and James unpack the culture of end-times sensationalism, from panic-driven lifestyle decisions to online voices that continually revise their predictions without losing influence. It’s a conversation about discernment, misplaced priorities, and the uncomfortable reality that many believers may be receiving far more discipleship from social media algorithms than from their local church.

Christian news and views from the Flaxmere Christian Fellowship
Today Eddie had the opportunity to sit down with the enigmatic Seun Kuti, son of the legendary Fela Kuti, for a powerful conversation in the early hours of the morning. Their discussion moved far beyond music — touching on revolutionary political philosophy, African liberation, global injustice, the responsibility of artists to speak truth, and Seun’s journey leading the iconic Egypt 80 after beginning in his father’s band at an incredibly young age. They also explored collaboration, creativity, and Seun’s writing process, giving rare insight into the mind behind one of Afrobeat’s most uncompromising voices. What unfolded felt less like a formal interview and more like an older brother passing down wisdom, perspective, humour, and hope to a younger brother navigating the world. For communities across the African and Black diaspora in Aotearoa, conversations like these matter. Afrobeat has always been more than music — it is resistance, memory, political education, and cultural survival carried through rhythm. Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 return to Aotearoa this May: 📍 Auckland Town Hall — Saturday 30 May 2026 📍 Meow Nui, Wellington — Sunday 31 May 2026 🎟 Tickets available via Ticketek #SeunKuti #Egypt80 #FelaKuti #Afrobeat #TheBlackhouse1061FM #AfricanDiaspora #BlackMedia #Aotearoa #Wellington #Auckland

Over the last two weekends Dunedin has had visitors from around the country down to celebrate graduates from the University of Otago. Yesterday, graduates celebrated with their family and friends, staff members and colleagues, their hard work that earned them their degree. The late nights, the studying, the stress, the new friends, the new experiences, the gained knowledge…that led to this moment of receiving a piece of paper on stage in front of a great crowd. For many this weekend is a transition moment. An acknowledgement of what has happened to get this moment and of sending out to what is next. Life is filled with these moments…moments to look back as you prepare to move forward. This morning I want to pray for our graduates and also acknowledge a God that is with us past present and future, our Rock through moments of transition in our own lives.
