State executions were a recurring feature on its flagship program, Name the Winner These programs were supported by commercial sponsorship from various concerns such as automobile manufacturers; for example, the Jupiter 8 was among the products advertised on the network. Good ratings were as valued by Empire TV personnel as they were by their Earth counterparts.
