“While the value of “hyperlocal” & “superdiverse” may seem like a recent discovery, our stations haven’t jumped on the bandwagon; we are the bandwagon!” - CAMA's Jo Holsted

At the 2025 CAMA conference, sector leaders warned: 4 years of static funding + rising costs = risk of losing long-running stations.
But the sector is innovating — from emergency comms during Cyclone Gabrielle to AI tools for the future.

📢 CAMA is calling for urgent Government recognition of NZ’s 12 Community Access Media stations as lifeline utilities under new emergency legislation. #CommunityMedia #NEMA #accessmedianz
“We have the infrastructure, the trust & the reach,” says Chair Phil Grey. “But we’re not recognised in the system – and that puts our communities at risk.” #NZMedia #AccessMediaNZ
Already part of the emergency broadcasting MOU, CAMA plays a crucial role. What’s missing? Official backing.
