An Infomercial is a television program that promotes a product in an informative and supposedly objective way.

A Public Service Announcement (PSA), or public service ad, is a message in the public interest disseminated without charge, with the objective of raising awareness, changing public attitudes and behavior towards a social issue.

hope these are understandable! :-)
