PSB and COM acronyms mean?
 
Does PSB mean Public Service Broadcasting?
I couldn't find a webpage to confirm this but wikipedia had it only in lower case.

Does COM mean commercial?
if so why is it all in upper case?

Yes, which includes ITV, although it is not an acronym.

That would be my guess. Probably because PSB is all uppercase.
