Yahoo streams CBS sitcoms

Apple has deals with ABC and NBC, but CBS seems like it may not do a deal with Apple. Though NBC and CBS have made their own deals with other companies, those deals were essentially test markets (DirecTV and Comcast respectively). Apple finally agreed to let NBC sell TV shows over iTunes without the fixed $1.99 price. CBS has decided to try to circumvent Apple by letting Yahoo stream TV shows for free for a week. This seems similar to the Chris Rock show that Google Videos streamed for a short time. As such its probably more of a market test to see how popular the shows are rather than a deal that will preclude Apple showing CBS content in the future.
