Did Mediabase quit monitoring Sirius Satelite?

I was looking for the playlist for The Beat to see how many spins Deborah had and it's not there.

I noticed that yesterday as well - when I searched for S066, Mediabase displayed S060, which is Sirius' country station (gross). So they're still monitoring some Sirius stations, just not The Beat. Hopefully it's a temporary oversight on their part. The Beat often is the first to break new music, and I really enjoyed looking at their playlist.

That would also explain why the spins for Madonna's "Hung Up" were not listed for the last week.

Search for S036. Sirius changed some of its channels, including The Beat and BBC Radio to different numbers.

They definatly stopped monitoring The Beat. I just checked and it's not there.

"The Beat" is back on Mediabase. Just like when a radio station changes call letters, the change on Sirius from channel 66 to channel 36 triggered an automatic "restart" for Mediabase monitoring. After collecting a week's worth of data from the "new" channel, the chart is being posted again.
