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.

As the sap drops to the roots and the leaves change colour and start to fall, we can take this as a cue to start a deeper season of rest and nourishment. Deciduous trees drop their leaves to conserve energy and restore themselves. What can we let go of? What can we release to nurture ourselves more? Sometimes it is the letting go that allows us more space to show up for ourselves and others. This practice of yoga nidra is 19 mins.

Hosted by Eddie and Glen. In my collecting I have acquired a goodly number of movie soundtracks, some are very average while others are great. I've bought some of the great ones along for tonight's show. The first half consists of songs from the soundtracks to the Return of the Living Dead and Repo Man, two great movies with excellent 80's punk music. For the second half I have got three New York crime flicks made by great soul musicians: Super Fly (Curtis Mayfield), Across 110th Street (Bobby Womack) and Together Brothers (Barry White & Love Unlimited). Some great tunes from some great films! Produced by Manawatū People's Radio with support from New Zealand On Air.
