Looks like NBC is bringing back Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. When it went off the air was it the last program with it's sponsors name in the title?

If not what was the last one?

For decades nature oriented programming was very popular not only because it was educational but very soothing to watch and when National Geographic debuted it's shows on TV they paved the way for nature shows and animal shows to become popular again. But if there's one nature show that has really stood the test of time it's Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Because at first glance when you see a show with Mutual Of Omaha in the title you might think that's just a commercial for it but this show actually restarted the nature and animal show fad that became popular for years. Now if they had episodes about leopards or arctic foxes or even hawks I would like it very much because those three animals are my favorites. My mother used to like Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom because of the wonderful animals they showed and I hope that in this rebooted version that they have wonderful animal scenes and not scene upon scene of animals getting hurt because that's one dislike about animal shows my mom watches. I wonder how Mutual Of Omaha is still gonna sponsor Wild Kingdom because I thought they no longer existed?
