What makes something infotainment vs information?



From my computers dictionary:

Infotainment - broadcast material that is intended both to entertain and to inform.

Information - facts provided or learned about something or someone.

From that, I believe infotainment is intended to be consumed as entertainment, while also being intended to inform. As opposed to just raw data or facts which aren't necessarily distributed with the purpose of entertaining.
