MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted:  August 1, 2014 Released: August 4, 2014
By the Commission:
1. The Commission has before it the Application for Review (“AFR”) filed by Bethel 
Fellowship, Inc. (“Bethel”) on November 28, 2011.  Bethel seeks review of an October 27, 2011, Media 
Bureau (“Bureau”) decision
1
that affirmed a prior decision that: (1) denied Bethel’s Petition to Deny
(“Petition”) the application of California Association for Research and Education Inc. (“CARE”) for a 
new noncommercial educational (“NCE”) FM station at Upton, Kentucky (“CARE Application”); (2) 
granted the CARE Application; and (3) dismissed Bethel’s competing application for a new NCE FM 
station at Cecilia, Kentucky (“Bethel Application”).
2
  In the AFR, Bethel again argues that the Bureau 
erred in failing to dismiss the CARE application for failure to prosecute
3
and in rejecting the evidence it 
submitted to demonstrate that the antenna pattern proposed by CARE was “impractical and impossible to 
construct.”

1
Letter from Peter H. Doyle, Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau, to Daniel Steffy, California Association for 
Research and Education Inc., et al. (dated Oct. 27, 2011) (“Reconsideration Decision”). The letter noted that 
Bowling Green Community Broadcasting, Inc., an applicant that had proposed a new NCE FM facility in Westview, 
Kentucky and was also in the MX group that included the Bethel and CARE Applications, had not challenged the 
dismissal of its application. Id., n 5. 
2
Letter from Peter H. Doyle, Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau, to Daniel Steffy, California Association for 
Research and Education Inc., et al. (dated Dec. 23, 2010) (“Staff Decision”).  
3
AFR at 4-5. Bethel contends that CARE improperly failed to respond to the Petition to Deny, notwithstanding the 
Bureau’s October 14, 2010 letter requesting that it do so.
4
AFR at 6-7.

2. Upon review of the AFR and the entire record, we conclude that Bethel has failed to 
demonstrate that the Bureau erred.  We thus uphold the Bureau’s decisions for the reasons stated in the 
Staff Decision and the Reconsideration Decision.
3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 5(c)(5) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
5
and Section 1.115(g) of the Commission’s Rules,
6
the 
Application for Review filed by Bethel Fellowship, Inc. on November 28, 2011, IS DENIED.
