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.

Sam grew up in Waitākere, Tāmaki Makaurau. After spending time in Queenstown and three years in the close-knit coastal community of Hahei, Sam moved to Ngāmotu two years ago. A few months after arriving in New Plymouth, Sam began teaching at East End Surf Club under the name Nuku Yoga. Connections quickly grew through coffees after class, swims and surfs together. Having left a place that felt like home, Sam wanted to share a love of yoga and find a sense of belonging. What began as a personal offering soon became a shared creation: a community where others could feel at home too. Nuku now has its own studio space and Sam has found great joy in bringing this next chapter to life alongside the community. Alongside teaching, Sam works with the Green Prescription team at Sport Taranaki, supporting community wellbeing. Living here has also inspired Sam to reconnect with whakapapa Māori and begin learning te reo Māori, guided by the powerful presence of te ao Māori in Taranaki.
