I don't know. They've never had any issue with showing failed landings before.

wonder if something went wrong and they didn't want to broadcast it.
one website said that it is company policy to cutoff the feed just prior to the landing in case something catastrophic did happen to the rocket. I'll look for a link and edit this post when i find it
ETA: I was mistaken. It isn't a policy, the article predicted the webcast would cutoof due to the vibrations of the rocket landing.

Don't be alarmed if the video cuts out right as the booster comes in for its landing on the drone ship. If the landing works, the feed should come back up right after the booster touches down on the barge. This disruption occurs because the rocket's vibrations can disrupt the satellite uplink from the barge.

Explanation why the droneship is named "Of Course I still Love you"

Just Read the Instructions and Of Course I Still Love You are two of the sentient, planet-sized Culture starships which first appear in Banks’ The Player of Games. Just as the Minds inhabiting each Culture ship choose their names with care, you have to imagine that Musk did the same here.

I hate that they are making us wait - it's been damn near 15 minutes waiting for Stage 2 to round the globe.

There's speculation that a fuel tank leaked after the hard landing
