Who is SHOWTIME?

This month, I have been hearing the FANGs, SNAKEs, and RATTLERs of the 125th Fighter Wing working callsign SHOWTIME while doing GCI work with STEALTH (117th Air Control Squadron). SHOWTIME doesn't handle the GCI work, that is done by STEALTH, although the fighters do discuss kills, etc. with SHOWTIME. SHOWTIME doesn't seem to be co-located with STEALTH as I have not been able to hear them when I've been able to hear transmissions from STEALTH.

Has anyone else heard activity involving SHOWTIME or have any idea on who they might be?
