SUMMARY: This document denies the petition for reconsideration filed by 
Madgekal Broadcasting, Inc., licensee of Station KFLY, Corvallis, 
Oregon, as repetitive and, pursuant to Section 1.429(b) of the rules, 
as based on facts not previously presented. It also affirms the 
Commission's Report and Order granting the upgrade of Station KDBX 
(FM), Banks, Oregon, from Channel 298C2 to Channel 298C1, filed by 
Common Ground Broadcasting, superseded by American Radio Systems 
License Corp., and subsequently superseded by CBS, Inc; the 
substitution of Channel 269C2 for Channel 298C2 at Redmond, Oregon; the 
allotment of Channel *268C3 at The Dalles filed by LifeTalk 
Broadcasting Association; and the allotment of Channel 224C2 at 
Sunriver, Oregon, filed by Hurricane Broadcasting, Inc. In addition, 
the Report and Order denied a settlement agreement between American 
Radio Systems License Corp. and Madgekal Broadcasting Inc. in which 
Madgekal Broadcasting Inc. would accept an upgrade for Station 
KFLY(FM), Corvallis, Oregon, from Channel 268C2 to Channel 268C1 for a 
payment of $950,000. The staff also denied Madgekal Broadcasting Inc.'s 
competing proposal filed as a one-step upgrade application upgrading 
Station KFLY to Channel 268C at Corvallis.
