HBC HBO I noticed that HBC is linked to HBO The two do seem similar but technically only one letter changes from HBC to ABC or NBC either and both of those networks seem to be more fitting of the programming HBO generally shows movies and longer shows so several sitcoms being on in a row seems unlikely and further it is mentioned at least once during the first broadcast of shit that the channel has commercials which is also untrue of HBO I d say that most likly the letters were chosen because of their close proximity to the other names of the network and I doubt the link is appropriate here Any citations where it was said that HBC is supposed to be HBO
