Public service Channels VS Commercial Channels
My research on TV Public service Channels and Commercial Channels
Public service Channels:
Public service broadcasting is intended for the public benefit rather than to serve for commercial interests. An example in Britain is the BBC, as all their television and radio stations are intended for the public benefit.
The BBC are funded by a licence fee, so it does not sell advertising time towards the audience. They are controlled by the government and is not required to make money.
The BBC is also the first public service broadcaster in the UK. Channel 4 was set up to be a alternative public service to the BBC who catered more to minorities and arts in 1981.

Commercial Channels:
Commercial Channels primary goal is to air television advertisements for profit. They usually air the advertisements in the breaks between the shows. Another way they get money is by a sponsorship with other companies.
It is rather more private broadcasting rather than the BBC (owned by a corporate media group), so it is not controlled by the government. So they are free to show any content they like (controversial or sensitive nature), but risk losing their sponsorship because of it.
For example of a popular Commercial channel in Britain would be ITV.
