'''Showdown!''' is a talk-show produced by [[StarCitizen:SSN/CAtv]] and hosted by the [[StarCitizen:Spectrum]] broadcasting service.

==History ==
The program was created and moderated by [[StarCitizen:Upsana Dixit]] in [[StarCitizen:2511]]. It was later purchased by [[StarCitizen:Angeli on Air]] in [[StarCitizen:2521]] and converted into a Spectrum broadcast. One year after Angeli on Air acquired the show, Spectrum network SSN/CAtv bought it from them. They would drop the host for the show, which lead to lower ratings. However in [[StarCitizen:2524]] Dixit returned as host and ratings climbed. They would covered many issues including: first contact with the [[StarCitizen:Xi'an]], [[StarCitizen:First Tevarin War]] and the promotion of [[StarCitizen:Ivar Messer]] to Prime Citizen. Dixit would retire in [[StarCitizen:2546]] stating that she did not want to lead debates of the pros and cons of facisim. The new host [[StarCitizen:Inácio Santos Melo]] would take stand against the debaters, this resulted in increased popularity of the show this tone would continue after Melo's retirement in [[StarCitizen:2588]]. Showdown! would be canceled and revived many times.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RwZBw4Lrxz-showdown|text=Showdown!|accessdate=2023-11-09}}</ref>
