Wrote to the top brass, and this was the response:
Dear Sir,
Gideon Khobane asked me to respond on his behalf.
Unfortunately, I first had to wait for the schedulers to come in to check on the state of play. The Burnley match was broadcast live (SS6), although SuperSport missed the first five minutes due to the GP qualifying running over.
Efforts to broadcast all matches live are stymied by capacity pressure, hence the Burnley match broadcast being delayed to 11.30am today (SS5). I have asked the team at dot com to correct the ‘live’ mention on the release – please accept SuperSport’s sincere apologies in this regard.
The Premier League is massively important to SuperSport and to viewers – we will continue to broadcast as much of it as possible.
Kind regards,
Clinton van der Berg

Feel free to give Clinton a shout if this bugs you as much as it does me.
