Morphology
The meaning 'a larger group of people' is directly derivable from combining 'wider' (comparatively broad in scope) with 'audience' (a group of listeners or viewers). This adjective+noun composition is compositionally transparent and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Wider audience gives a simple picture: imagine a small room where more seats are added and the crowd becomes wider. Here wider means more space and audience means the people watching, so the phrase means 'a larger group of people'.
