A joint statement was issued in which the parties announced that they had found each other but would give details later on Friday.
No PSL soccer matches have been shown since the beginning of the season this month. This after the SABC was expected to pay Supersport R280-million for 144 matches per year for a period of five years.
The SABC says it does not have the money.
