Morphology
The meaning 'to announce or broadcast something very loudly' is transparently derived from 'blare' (to sound very loudly) plus 'out' (indicating outward projection); together they convey making a loud sound outwardly. This verb+particle composition is a common, predictable English pattern (compare 'shout out', 'blast out') and a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrasal verb blare out may come from the image of a loud horn or speaker that blares a very loud sound out into the street and gets everyone's attention. So it now means 'to announce or broadcast something very loudly'.
