No, not the federal budget, but Sinclair being locked out of DirecTV. This is posted on the KOKH website:
Attention DirecTV Customers: Sinclair is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with DirecTV on a new retransmission consent agreement and has entered into a short-term extension of its existing agreement in order to allow the parties to enter into a formal agreement. As a result, DirecTV will continue to carry all of our stations. We thank our viewers for their patience and support during these negotiations.
Those of us who no longer have satellite or cable, didn’t notice any difference.
