They took the for two letters of Detective Comics for the company name. Atleast that's what I heard.

You are correct. Detective Comics is the longest lasting comic in DC, which is why they named the company after it.

Currently, I think they're trying to say it's "Direct Current," assuming Previews means anything at all.

DC used to be short for "Direct Currents", referring to the subscription service where you could get the comic shipped straight to your door every month (do they still do this?)

The company was originally named Detective Comics Inc., then National Comics, then National Periodical Publications, and, since 1976, DC Comics. The "DC" is an homage to their original name and longest-running comic series. However, from an official and legal standpoint, the company's official name is just DC Comics (not Detective Comics Comics, which would be redundant) and the "DC" does not officially stand for anything.
