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.

ART Media
Ella Borrows from South Taranaki joins Marcia to talk about a lifetime of volunteering, beginning with some of her earliest memories of helping her mother with Sunday School. Ella reflects on how volunteering has always been part of her life. As a parent, this included getting involved with her children’s school committee, and over the years she has continued to contribute to her community in many ways, including most recently serving on her local hall committee. Having both worked in the community development space, Ella and Marcia also reflect on some of the changes and trends they’ve witnessed in communities and volunteering over the years. Now retired, Ella talks about how volunteering still plays an important role in her life, offering flexibility, connection, opportunities to meet new people and the chance to keep learning new skills along the way.
Colossians 3:20; Ephesians 6:1 - 3 Obedience should come from your heart, affecting the way you think, speak and live. Children are encouraged to value, respect and obey the wisdom and moral guidance of their parents. Don't ignore or lose sight of God's instructions. Keep His word in your mind.

Pastor Dafydd Hughes continues his series on Acts with a message from Acts 5:17-42, “Counted Worthy to Suffer.” Reflecting on the apostles’ imprisonment, miraculous release, renewed preaching, and joyful endurance after being beaten, the sermon explores the church’s calling to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ even in the face of opposition. Pastor Hughes highlights the apostles’ confidence in Christ’s authority, their obedience to God rather than people, and the costly joy of being identified with Jesus through suffering.

In this episode of Spiritual Chats, hosts Jeremy and Zac discuss the true meaning of worship within the church and daily life. They dive into the deliberate process behind choosing Sunday music, the dangers of performative church culture, and the role of scripture in modern song writing. They also examine how music subtly shapes theology and identity while distinguishing between structured musical worship and living a life that honours God. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - http://oar.org.nz
The theme, Living Water, is based on the verses from Ezekiel 47: 9, 12. Scripture Reading – Exodus 14:13-16, 21-22 13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you.” 15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, 22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. Broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin www.oar.org.nz

Being Deaf doesn't mean being without a voice. In this episode of Beyond Barriers with Jaime, Jaime explores what it really means to be Deaf, from NZSL and Deaf culture to the everyday assumptions people can make about communication and accessibility. Jaime shares her own lived experience as a Deaf person and looks at why accessibility, understanding and inclusion matter. This is a conversation about breaking down barriers, challenging misconceptions and recognising that Deaf people have their own language, culture, identity and voices. Because being Deaf doesn't mean being silent - sometimes it simply means the world needs to learn to listen differently.
This week on Namaste Southland with Ravveyan the conversation turns to an important topic - why are young Kiwis not fully enrolled to vote and why are they choosing not to? An open and important discussion on youth political participation in New Zealand that everyone should hear.
