Only 1 pad is affected. If they use 81/24 before the pad enters retirement later this year then this launch shouldn't be affected to much. At least that is how I see it. 200/39 is heavily tied up in the cause of the delays.

No.
These launches are both from the same pad, 81/24.
Typical recycling of Proton pad takes ~ 3 weeks.
Although it can be squeezed by overclock shifts.
The fastest recent turnaround between two Proton launches was in Sept. 2017:
Sep 11, 2017 - Amazonas 5
Sep 28, 2017 - AsiaSat 9
- 17 days.

Seeking correction if I'm wrong...
There will not be a live web cast of this launch.
If tomorrow's launch is successful, the satellite will receive the designation Kosmos 2539.

Just to point out that the lead photo is not from this launch. The photo information says it is Amazonas 5 from 12 September 2017.
Tass now reports that the Briz-M separated at 22:06 UTC.
"Space head part of the space rocket (RKN) "Proton-M" as part of the acceleration unit "Briz-M" and the spacecraft launched in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry, at the estimated time - 01:06 Moscow time - staffly separated from the third stage "Proton-M" heavy-class launch vehicle, the statement said.
