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 18 - Rules are Rules - Civic Education and Common Sense

Fresh FM

Senior Sergeant Adam Ramsay of the Nelson police joins Buddhika.. This episode provides a clear, no-nonsense look at the legal journey for both rangatahi and adults. We break down the process from the moment a situation escalates to the reality of facing charges, navigating court, and understanding remand. More importantly, it pulls back the curtain on the true consequences of the justice system. We discuss the reality that Youth Justice residences are still forms of custody, and explain how serious offenses can lead young people into the adult system—including youth units within prisons.

Lo-fi Faith - Episode 21 | Text vs Tradition

Plains Media

"After exploring the role preconceptions play in forming our theology, Mike and James now put those ideas into practice using a real-world example from their own experience: the idea that vegetarianism represents a spiritual ideal that all Christians must aim for. Looking at passages like Genesis 1 and Daniel 1, they ask a bigger question—where does the Bible actually speak, and where might tradition be speaking for it?"

Manawatu Peoples Radio

Pastor Dafydd Hughes continues his series in Luke’s Gospel, reflecting on Jesus’ silence before Herod in Luke 23:6–12. He explores what can be learned from Christ’s silence in the face of curiosity, false accusation, and contempt, and applies these lessons to both believers and unbelievers—calling Christians to perseverance and obedience, and urging listeners to consider their response to Jesus and the truth of Scripture. Produced by Manawatū People’s Radio with support from New Zealand On Air.
