It’s been more than a year since many Americans have sat inside a bar or restaurant, casually watching a silent TV play in the background. But as the nation recovers from pandemic lockdowns, one startup is raising money to capture patrons’ attention upon their return.
Atmosphere TV a streaming platform that provides a range of audio-optional content supported by subscriptions and advertising has raised a $25 million Series B round from Valor Equity Partners at a new valuation of $275 million. The funding comes less than a year after a $14 million Series A round in April 2020, just weeks after state and local lockdowns went into effect.

Have you ever heard somebody say they eat at Hooters because they like the wings? Hooters’ execs might have been listening: They have partnered with a Dallas franchise group to open dozens of order-at-the-counter restaurants named Hoots Wings in North Texas.
Hoots Wings servers won’t wear orange hot pants and low-cut tank tops. Staffers will work the counter wearing T-shirts and jeans. The restaurant’s focus is on selling wings via carryout and third-party delivery, though customers can also sit inside.
