Can someone walk me through the primary difference you see in Program versus Product Management? Looking at opportunities and both and trying to decide where to put my focus.

Totally different pursuits. Google the terms for starters.

Product manager = “own” a product, guide your product’s future, visionary, usually responsible for your product’s P&L

Program manager = closer to project manager, cost center

like

Product manager owns the vision and execution of the product, program manager enables the product team and handles the back office side of the house

What others have said, but I would also mention that I’ve noticed a lot of companies call project management jobs product management (to get better applicants, etc)
