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.

For Content-Makers

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.

Reach your audience

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.

Support CAMA

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:

  • 🎙️ Funders: Invest in inclusion, resilience, and social impact.
  • 📻 Listeners: Back the sector that helps communities create content that reflects your community.
  • 🤝 Businesses: Show your support for diversity, localism, and public good

Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

Episode 96 - Jeremy Whitley (AEW)

Manawatu Peoples Radio

Ever since the 80's, when my schoolfriends were obsessed with the big brightly-coloured musclemen of the WWF (before it became WWE) I have been peripherally aware of pro wrestling. However, aside from a brief and furtive stint of watching the Attitude Era, I've never really watched much of it. For a few years now, AEW has been challenging WWE as the Other Big Franchise in the world of pro wrestling and Jeremy Whitley (https://jeremywhitley.com) has very kindly volunteered to be my guide for this new more diverse, more inclusive, and less evil era. For context, we watched AEW All In in Wembley. Produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand On Air.
