Home - Wellington Access Radio

Wellington Access Radio is the station that is made by, for, and about our communities.

We provide a space for people who face barriers to media to have their voices heard, alongside arts, music and local culture.

The station serves Wellington, the Hutt Valley, and Porirua, with programmes made by diverse communities across the region. Anyone can make a programme or podcast with us, be interviewed, or have their music played on air – get in touch at info@accessradio.org.nz

Tune in on 106.1FM. Stream live and find podcasts on this website and the accessmedia.nz mobile app.
