Washington - The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing tomorrow that includes discussion of antitrust concerns with satellite TV provider DirecTV's "Sunday Ticket" pay-per-view service, TV Week reported.

The service offers subscribers exclusive access to NFL games not available on local broadcast or cable TV. The hearing was called by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.). An NFL spokesman told TV Week that the hearing will cover the NFL's overall TV policy.
