AUSTIN, TX – March 7, 2023 – Atmosphere (www.atmosphere.tv), the worldwide leader in streaming TV entertainment for businesses, today announced that its platform is now being viewed by more than 100 million adults in the US per month. Atmosphere is currently reaching more viewers than many competitive FAST platforms, most of which are designed to be viewed in the home.
This milestone comes as Atmosphere also exceeded more than 50,000 monthly active venues worldwide for the first time. With a market potential of 2.4 million venues in the United States and more than 5 million venues globally, Atmosphere is continuing to corner this market in its fifth year of operation.
