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.

World Radio Day is celebrated this Friday under the theme “Radio and Artificial Intelligence” Artificial intelligence (AI) has been gaining ground in the media industry for the past few years. From compiling news to selecting songs, AI is doing everything. In some foreign countries, there are even ‘AI radio jockeys’. There is no substitute for that feeling when a voice wakes us up in the morning saying, “Hello Chennai…”, or when a soft voice says, “That song you heard” in the middle of the night… But with the speed at which technology has advanced today, the question arises, “Will that voice be human or robotic?” Say out loud that the soul of the radio industry is ‘The human voice and emotions.’ Tune into Otago Access Radio 105.4 FM to hear the stories of MY Radio days.
