Save KDVS

Complex relocations should never take place in a relicensing year. The move to a new location should be delayed, allowing KDVS to examine better site options.

We believe the move was fast tracked during COVID lockdowns to avoid pushback. The University knows it's a bad deal. Let them know that you care by writing to the Chancellors. Relevant email addresses can be found at https://savekdvs.org/letter-writing-campaign/

Some positive coverage of our effort to fight the University's decision to force KDVS into an unworkable and inadequate location, which will drastically curtail functionality and access.

"The administration of the University of California, Davis is facing backlash after deciding to move its freeform radio station KDVS to a space that is roughly a third of the size of its current headquarters.

After the downsizing announcement was made in early April, KDVS alumni and the local community quickly formed the organization Save KDVS in an effort to preserve the station’s current operations."

Supporters of KDVS argue that the smaller studios will diminish the station's operations and its value for teaching students.

“The only way to ensure public trust about the future of Freeborn and KDVS moving forward is by starting the public engagement process over from scratch, thus freeing it entirely from the misty banks of Lawlor’s reveries and the enduring controversy of Katehi’s shadow. When it comes to how the community feels about this vital spot on the campus, starting over isn’t the best way – it’s the only way.”

Statement from former KDVS General Managers:

“As generations of alumni try to keep KDVS FM intact, they’re battling a proposal that started with the controversial UC Davis leader who many would rather forget.”

“Last summer, the Associated Students of UC Davis, the governing body that oversees KDVS and other student programs, convened a workgroup of people with expertise in broadcast and engineering to advise campus administrators and student leaders on their search for a new home for the station.

Using a map of the KDVS headquarters in Lower Freeborn, the group did a virtual walkthrough to assess how much space would be needed to fulfill each of the station’s functions. “We went through room by room and item by item,” said Justin Kable, a civil engineer and former general manager of KDVS, who was part of the workgroup. “In the end, we determined KDVS would need the same amount of space to maintain its functionality.””
