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

This coming Sunday, September 6th, is Father's Day. We at Between2Worlds with Teisa wish each and every one who is a 'Father figure' a very Happy Father's Day - have a fun day filled with laughter and love. Father's Day can bring a mix of emotions. For some, it's a day of celebration and for others it brings memories of a Dad or Father figure who is no longer here. In this episode, we reflect on some of the emotions that can appear on this day, including laughter, lessons, values, and the little habits our Fathers' leave with us that continue to live on through us and our children. A brief description of the dedicated songs "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross 'Ave Lo'u Ola' by Lapi Mariner (translates to Take My Life or Have My Life) This is my Fathers Day dedication to my Dad who gave his life to GOD and his family. We would love to hear from you too. What are some of your memories funny stories or lessons from your Dad/Father that you or your loved ones still carry today?

I rummaged through recorded relics finding forgotten 45s, long lost LPs, and great golden gems from the music of the 20th Century and found myself in the deep dark corners of The Groove Yard for the tunes in this visit and got just a little fixated on the fifties ending up with 60 minutes of varied music from the 1950s. There is some Blues, some Doo-wop, some Rockabilly and some other stuff and I can promise no Dean Martin, Connie Francis, or any stuff like that.
