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.

We Wore That. In Public. Voluntarily. There was a time when we chose outfits based entirely on how uncomfortable they were — and thought we looked incredible. In this episode, we revisit the fashion, gadgets, and beauty choices we fully committed to... some we wish we still had, and some we would quietly like to forget. A little bit of reminiscing, a lot of youthful confidence, and absolutely no underwire. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.
