Traditionally BT circuits were named after a physical location they went to and not the name of the company, for obvious reasons. This is why for example LWTs were KRS or Kings Reach Studios and not LWT and Thames' were EUS and TFS (Euston and Teddington Film Studios)
Not the case with newer ones, there are lots now that do have company initials in their names
