Don't forget one big point here: this switch will affect the elderly much more than most other groups. You know what the elderly tend to affect much more than other groups? Voting in local and national elections.
This is going to happen very soon; most stations can start turning them off at the original deadline if they want. And you really don't think that this could be exploited by some group as no one looking out for the elderly (and the poor, who are affected as well)?
If the government can't organize themselves over something as comparatively small as implementing a new form of technology nationally that they have had several years to do (and even this congressional majority has had two years to deal with), what is there to suggest that they can do anything against something of exponentially-more size and complexity: the forces of the national economy?
