The newspaper says that CBS is in similar negotiations for their show "Jericho" with cable provider Comcast. Meanwhile, while DirecTV executives are confident that their deal could drive new subscribers to their service, some analysts are skeptical and are forecasting that the DirecTV episodes will wind up being pirated on the Internet.
