I was looking at some stations today and saw some stations could accomidate 30 to 40,000 listeners. How in the world can they do that without havening to pay thousand and thousands of dollars each month? Please let me know this. You can reply here or directly at:

It's Called A Cluster Server. It's A Bunch Of Servers All Relaying The Same Station, Each Server Probabaly Only Serves 5-10 Listeners, And They Have Lots Of Servers All (Usually) Owned/Paid For By Different People.

PS: I'm Looking For Some Servers To Relay My Station: MStar Radio

How do I hook up with an outfit where I can broadcast to that many people without having to sell my first born?
