 Good !!
 Not that you're embarrassed, good that it isn't just me.

 Maybe it was "Radio in High Definition" or something. Maybe the word
 "radio" wasn't there. Maybe it was "Now broadcasting in High Definition".
 Now that I think about it, ( it was a week ago ) I think it was the last.

 I know that I distinctly got the feeling someone was talking about HDTV,
 and then payed attention.
 The several more times I heard it, it was clear they were talking about
 radio in High Definition, and not HD radio, but meaning HD radio.
 Did that make sense ?
 It did to me, after a second or three, but I'm in the business.

 Since you are in programming, maybe YOU should write these things.
 With your attitude, I know they'd be accurate, and with your professionalism,
 I'm pretty sure they would be promo's as intended by the word "promo."
