Coast Access Radio 104.7 FM

Coast Access Radio 104.7 FM operates as a community access station serving the Kapiti and Horowhenua regions of New Zealand. The station's primary format is centered on providing a platform for diverse local voices, including cultural, religious, and special interest groups that are often underrepresented in mainstream broadcasting. Its content is predominantly spoken-word and informational, covering a broad spectrum of topics such as local history, community health, social services, and regional government updates. The station functions under a mandate to facilitate community-made programming, ensuring that the broadcast reflects the specific demographic and social makeup of its coverage area.

The musical programming on this station is non-standardized and changes frequently to reflect the specific interests of individual community contributors. Listeners can expect an eclectic mix of genres, ranging from traditional ethnic music and classical pieces to local independent artists and niche contemporary sounds. This varied approach means the station does not adhere to a specific commercial playlist, instead offering a tapestry of sounds that support the cultural diversity of its contributors. The overall output is characterized by its focus on localism, education, and the promotion of community-led initiatives across the coastal districts.
