CAAMA Radio

04/06/2026

For the past three months, CAAMA has been trying out a new way to bring radio across Central Aus through our Radio x TikTok Live broadcasts.

We’ve gone live from Mutitjulu, Todd River, Papunya, Arrernte Community Boxing Academy, the Alice Springs Aquatic and Leisure Centre, the Alice Springs Town Council Library, the CAAMA music studio with Balaclava Peace Collective and the Claypans, from cooking kangaroo tail to jamming in the music studio, to bringing language to global audiences, giving communities a new way to connect with radio!

We’ve had people sending in song requests, tuning in from communities like Wingellina, Alpurrurulam, Mt Liebig, Kintore and Ntaria, and even people from across the globe, from Antarctica to Ireland to America, joining in, asking questions and connecting in real time.

Across 16+ live broadcasts, more than 50,000 people have tuned in. We’ve loved giving you a behind the scenes look at radio, and we hope you’ve enjoyed being part of it.

We’re now bringing the live broadcasts into Tangentyere Council Town Camp Community Centres, creating new opportunities for families to connect across our network and experience radio and TikTok together.

Today, we’re heading back to where CAAMA began at Little Sisters, going live from 3 - 5pm on TikTok and CAAMA Radio.

We’ll be hearing stories from community members who were once young kids sneaking into the studio to watch their parents broadcast in language or record music with family.

Thanks for supporting CAAMA, tune in this afternoon 📻🔥

Excited to welcome Frederica and Tyrell to the CAAMA Radio team in Elliott!

Broadcasting locally on 106.9FM, they’re bringing Mudburra language to radio 📻🎤

A big step for the network too, thanks to our tech team, Elliott is now connected with a new TieLine, giving us the ability to go live from Elliott across the CAAMA network when we choose meaning people can hear Tyrell and Frederica not only in Elliott but also from Kaltukatjara to Aputula and 30+ places in between.

Great to have the new team on board 🙌🏿
