'much' is the definition.

'distribute to audience' is the wordplay.
'distribute' becomes 'lot' (synonyms).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).

'lot' after 'a' is 'A LOT'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for a lot that I've seen before include "Much" , "What little things mean?" , "Greatly" , "A good deal" , "Significant amount" .)
