In my opinion, Propaganda is advertisement that isn't always truthful.
One example of propaganda could be a festival to promote a radio station. I consider this an example of propaganda because it appeals to the audience by giving away free stuff, lying or exaggerating the truth and distracting them to convince them of something, in this case to convince them that they should listen to that radio station.
An example of Persuasion could be a speech about fast food at a school. This is not propaganda because it uses facts, credibility and emotional appeal while propaganda uses manipulation and maybe even lies.

Your definition, I think, contains a key point about propaganda: it is not always truthful or transparent.
However, with your example, I wonder if it is propaganda since, even though they are giving away free stuff, it is clear, honest, and transparent that the intention is to get people to listen to the radio station. It is manipulative, but is it propaganda?
