Radios towers (wireless telecommunications facilities), providing communication signals for radio stations, as well as cable television service within the City of Davis fall under the city's Telecommunications Facilities Ordinance, incorporated within Chapter 40§29 of the Davis City Code. The city has established a Telecommunications Task Force charged with issues related to the development of a telecommunications and/or cable ordinance, participating in needs assessments and gathering information about telecommunications issues, and making recommendations to the Davis City Council on telecommunications issues.
In 2011 KDVS proposed a new tower at the Yolo County Central Landfill after 15 years of searching. Neil Ruud wrote an op-ed in the Davis Voice about the need for the tower.
