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.

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

get lucky, make a station that many people would want to listen to, then wait.
