CAMA - Community Access Media Alliance’s Strategic Plan is a bold, co-designed commitment that unites 12 stations across the motu under a shared vision for an inclusive, innovative, and sustainable future.
One component of our strategy is 📢 Advocating for secure, sustainable funding and recognition of our sector’s vital role. It’s tough times for the media sector, and Free FM is feeling that too. We are working together with our 11 partner stations to respond to government’s current media reforms, and ensure hyper-local, diverse voices not only remain part of, but continue to thrive in our media ecosystem.
CAMA’s strategy reinforces the power of collective impact; when independent stations work together, we amplify our influence and create a stronger future for community-led media.

Powerful and timely words from 🏳️🌈 Flat Out Pride 🏳️🌈 host Lady H, especially in light of appalling behaviour surrounding the weekend’s Pride Parade and associated events.
Free FM and CAMA - Community Access Media Alliance stand by our communities, elevate their voices and empower them by offering opportunities to create radio and podcasts that reflect their culture, ideas, concerns, music…. or anything else they wish to express.
Minimising those voices is for the small minded, and an anathema to our kaupapa.
