Promote (an idea) widely (6)

I believe the answer is:

peddle

(Other definitions for peddle that I've seen before include "Sell (drugs or something hot?)" , "Deal illegally in (not a lever on a cycle!)" , "Sell goods illegally or promote ideas" , "push" , "Travelling salesman does!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
