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.

For Veronica and her family, moving to New Zealand wasn't a leap into the unknown, it was the fulfilment of a dream years in the making. After building a life together in Colombia, she and her Kiwi husband made the move to Aotearoa in 2023 to raise their two children in the country where their story first began. Veronica shares how a university exchange in 2009 led to a chance meeting that changed her life, what it's been like starting over in Taranaki, and the joys and challenges of creating a place to truly call home.
Drawing on the purports of Srila Prabhupāda, the discussion explores the creation of the universe, the appearance of living beings through the Lord’s glance upon material nature, the development of the mahat-tattva and false ego, and the evolution of the material elements from subtle to gross. The episode highlights the soul’s eternal relationship with Krishna and the path beyond material illusion through spiritual knowledge and devotion. Hare Krishna. A long (one hour) talk on the Srimad Bhagavatam, produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand On Air.
