Congrats go out to "Team NAMIC," winner of the first-ever "Cable Center Showdown" at The Cable Center in Denver, and one of the lead-up events to tonight's Cable Hall of Fame induction/gala.

In a more heated-than-expected event held Wednesday afternoon, the group sponsored by National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC) was equally quick with the buzzer and with their cable lore, beating out teams sponsored by three other cable orgs: Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM) , Cable Positive , and Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT).



Think you can match trivia wits with this group? I jotted down some of the questions asked during the event, and here's a sampling. The answers are further below.

How did you do? I got about half of them right. Steve Santamaria, a cable vet late of Vyyo Inc. (Nasdaq: VYYO) and now in the consulting biz, sat next to me during the event, and I can confirm that he batted at least .900 – surely Hall of Fame-type numbers.
