At 0.92, CBC News is the dominant pull in CBC News Alerts' top 10 — a gap of more than 10 points separates it from every other neighbor, a concentration that defines the spike shape here.
The remaining nine neighbors spread across a notably cross-kind mix. Two fellow News Publishers appear: CTV News at 0.81 and HuffPost Celebrity at 0.78, followed by The Globe and Mail at 0.76. But the more structurally interesting finding is how much of the top 10 is occupied by Actors and Politicians rather than other news outlets. Debra Messing (0.77) and Bette Midler (0.77) are both Actors; Mazie Hirono (0.80) is a Politician — and she ranks third overall, ahead of any non-CBC news brand. Stormy Daniels, classified as a Reality TV Star, sits at 0.76. Rounding out the ten are CBS This Morning (0.75), a TV Show, and The Hardy Report (0.75), a Website — neither a News Publisher by subcategory.
In total, four of the top 10 neighbors are News Publishers, while the other six span Actors, a Politician, a Reality TV Star, a TV Show, and a Website. The audience shape of CBC News Alerts is anchored overwhelmingly to its parent brand, then fans out into a politically engaged, celebrity-adjacent cluster rather than a purely news-media one.
