Looks like somebody on Reddit leaked the unlisted webcast link. Note it currently says "Launch webcast" and not "hosted" or "technical". EDIT: It's linked from the SpaceX website, not leaked. Still unlisted on youtube, though.

If you look at http://www.spacex.com/webcast then you'll see only that one link.
Based on prior experience that means there will only be the one webcast stream.
If I had to guess, it will be of the "hosted" variety.
Recent norms have been that there would be two links [hosted and technical] appearing a couple of days before a scheduled launch.

Mods: not certain if this qualifies for Updates or if I should have put it in Discussion for NROL-79 - move as appropriate.
