While searching the internet I came across this article from 2012 about a request from Louisiana to the FCC for an extension to the Dec. 31, 2016 deadline for converting LWIN frequencies to a 6.25 KHz bandwidth. The article has information on the hundreds of millions of dollars that it will cost to do such a conversion. Given the current financial condition of the state it appears that funding such conversion will be next to impossible and some anticipate an exodus of various agencies from the system. Here is the article:

My question is, since this is from 2012, does anyone know the current status of the request for an extension, does anyone know how the conversion will be paid for or if it is even possible, and what will happen to LWIN?
