Is there any chance that any of the online news channels might cover it, or (unlikely) if there will be a webcast?

I don't think so, this is a military launch.

That is strange. Gonets satellites - except for the first two prototypes - were always launched as Gonets. Perhaps we will see a similar confusion as with the latest Raduga launch.

Hi Gunter
I think that will explain to you the Gonets' puzzle.
Previous launch of Gonets-M satellite, which was the first one in the series of modified spacecraft of the Gonets series, took place in December 2005 (Rodnik). At the time appeared that the Gonets-D1M system, which it started, would be a civilian counterpart of the military Strela-3 system. Accordingly, that satellite did not receive a Cosmos designation. This time, however, the new satellites seem to have both kinds of names - Gonets-M No.2, No. 3, and No. 4 as well as Cosmos ones.
