I've looked and looked but can't see the thread giving the date of the next Frontier Unlocked livestream. Where are they usually announced?

It seems that each Frontier Unlocked takes place on the last Wednesday of each month, so should next take place on the 26th of June.
The original announcement and presumably any updates was in the Frontier forum not one for a specific game.
But as @Robert Maynard states they have stuck to the last Wednesday of the month at 6PM UK time since they launched the new format.
They always stick to a routine until they don't... as Elite players know...
I believe the "Join us this week!"-style announcements are on Twitter these days.
Last Wednesday of the month as noted above, but you can always have a poke around on their Twitch schedule to confirm if the next one's still on:

They do seem very commitment-averse when it comes to their streaming schedule. In theory, the Jan'25 stream will be in 18 days.
There's nothing on twitch.tv/frontier/schedule, which seems like a missed opportunity.
twitter.com/frontierdev announced a mere hour ahead of the December stream (which was off-schedule, a week early), so that's not a very informative channel.
Frontier Unlocked #1 and #2 (Jan&Feb 2024) got an announcement in forums/frontier-news-and-announcements, but I've found nothing since then, other than this thread.
Is there a forum thread that my google-fu is too weak to find, by any chance? A Discord channel I can subscribe to, maybe? Perhaps there's a "this is what happened during this week's stream" thread or channel, where the recap message ends with "tune in next month at <date> <time> for more wacky hijinks"?
It seems that they'd want people to watch their stream. Giving us a heads-up about when it'll be happening would probably boost viewership, ya?

There is the thread in News and I believe one in the Frontier Forums as well seeing as the stream is for all their games.
But apart from the mistimed Christmas recording release all the streams have been at 18:00 UK time on the last Wednesday of the month so I would only really want an announcement about some change to that or if there was something extraordinary going to be revealed.

The thread in News seems to be just people talking about the streams, or reposting an announcement from twitter? I didn't see anything recent on the Frontier forums, did I miss something? They have been keeping a (mostly) consistent schedule in 2024, but was that something they'd announced, or is that only obvious in retrospect?
You are so right! The first message of New 2024 Livestream series! mentions it, but the main Frontier thread that it links to doesn't. According to google, nowhere else at all on the forums does, aside from this thread. Never would've found it without your help -- which I still feel is a bit reticent, as far as corporate communications strategies go. 
But at least it exists. Thanks!
