Mainstream Rock cancelled?

I’ve noticed that Mediabase is no longer listing a Top 50 for Mainstream Rock. The category still shows but there are no songs listed. It's been blank for a couple of weeks.

I’m guessing all of the stations that were Mainstream have now been reclassified as Active Rock and added to that format’s list. A local station for me WHEB is now categorized as Active Rock for example.

Does anyone know why they did this?

One of them has folded "Mainstream Rock" into "Active Rock". I think it's Mediabase. As for why, there probably weren't enough contributing stations for two separate charts.
 
When active rock doesn't have enough new material, as people have been saying here, it would seem pointless to have both. But it should have been the other way around.

I believe there are more Active Rock reporters than Mainstream, not that there are all that many combined.
