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.

Songs and stories from the golden age of radio for children of all ages
Radio Southland
Una vez terminó el colegio, Ana viajó a Estados Unidos para estudiar su carrera y vivir con su papá. No imaginaba que allí conocería a un estadounidense con quien, años después, formaría una familia. Once mudanzas, más de treinta países, dos idiomas y una vida construida entre culturas. Migrar dejó de ser solo un cambio de lugar y se volvió una forma de vivir, de criar, de preguntarse quién eres cuando nadie espera una respuesta larga. Este episodio es para quienes se quedan en blanco cuando les preguntan de dónde son. Para quienes no caben en una sola respuesta y han aprendido que el hogar no siempre es un punto en el mapa, sino algo que se construye en movimiento.
