The "transmission model" is very simple and is what I would expect most people to view as basic communication. It is the transmission of ideas from one person to another. For example, in a lecture the professor is transmitting to the student. They are receiving ideas directly from one person to another.
The "cultural model" is a bit more complex. It deals with the creation of a common culture which is affected by a community of people. It is an all-encompassing type of communication. The "cultural model" shows how a person from one culture may interpret a message differently than someone from another culture. This model shows that while all people essentially share the same "world," we all live within our own subcultures. Language, religion and geographical region can all affect the culture we live in.
