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.

As the church in Jerusalem flourished, it faced a challenge familiar to every growing community: maintaining unity amid diversity. In this episode, we explore Acts 6:1-7, where a dispute between Hellenist and Hebrew believers threatened the peace of the fledgling church. Discover how the apostles responded with wisdom and godly priorities, refusing to neglect either the ministry of the Word or the practical care of those in need. Through the appointment of seven servant-leaders, the early church demonstrated that gospel growth requires both faithful proclamation and compassionate action. Join us as we examine how Christ's gospel not only reconciles sinners to God but also brings people of different backgrounds, cultures, and languages together in unity. This passage offers timeless lessons on church leadership, servant-hearted ministry, and preserving unity in the midst of growth. A radio show/podcast from Crosspoint Church produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.

"If I can do it myself, why do I still need help"? That's the question so many disabled people are made to feel they have to answer. In this honest and powerful episode of Beyond Barriers with Jaime, Jaime challenges the idea that needing support somehow means you are less capable, less independent, or less deserving of respect. Being capable doesn't mean you never need help. Being independent doesn't mean doing everything alone. And asking for support doesn't erase everything you are capable of achieving. Jaime shares her personal experiences as a disabled person and a mum, talking about the everyday reality of knowing "I can do this" while also knowing "I need some help to do this". This episode is about breaking own assumptions, letting go of the guilt around asking for help, and recognising an important truth: You can be strong. You can be capable. You can be independent. And you can still need help. Because accessibility isn't about doing things for us - it's about making sure we have the support we need to do things for ourselves.
