KL-Alpha (2x) - KZ-1A (Y7) - JSLC - November 17, 2019 (10:00 UTC)

KZ-1A (Y11) and KZ-1A (Y7) arrived at Jiuquan on October 14.
Apparently Y7 (scheduled for early November) will launch two satellites known as "KL-Alpha" into different orbits. Some say these are scientific research satellites (one claim is that they are gravitational measurement satellites so probably yet another China Academy of Sciences payload?).
Does anyone have more info on "KL-Alpha"?

Will the delay of the Y11 launch postpone this launch as well?
Cross-post:
The launch has been scrubbed for the day according to the broadcast.
Apparently this is due to some guidance related issue.

These matches drop zones for KZ-1A and not CZ-2D which was rumored to be also launching around this timeframe.

So apparently "KL-Alpha" is short form for something like "Global Multimedia satellite system Phase Alpha" or something. (which makes me doubt the earlier linkage with the Chinese Academy of Sciences - maybe the operator is someone else?)
