AE Global Sees Growing Demand for Broadcast and Live Streaming Systems Across Southeast Churches

CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 21, 2026 – Charlotte-based AVL integrator sees shift in how churches approach production technology.

AE Global, a full-service AVL company headquartered in Charlotte, reports a significant increase in churches seeking to upgrade their broadcast and streaming systems as part of their overall production strategy. The trend reflects a growing recognition among church leaders that online ministry is no longer an afterthought; it is a core part of how they communicate each week.

According to AE Global President Greg Davis, the shift has changed the way churches think about technology from the earliest stages of planning.

“A few years ago, streaming was something churches added after everything else was in place,” Davis said. “Now it is one of the first things they bring up. They want their online experience to be just as clear and intentional as what happens in the room.”

A Shift That Impacts Audio, Video, and Lighting Together

The growing focus on broadcast quality has created a ripple effect across all areas of AVL design. Churches investing in streaming often discover that their audio mix, lighting design, and camera infrastructure all need to work together in ways their original systems were never built to handle.

AE Global’s team works with churches through a full-service process that includes master planning, creative design, engineering, installation, and ongoing service support. That approach allows each system, from audio and acoustics to LED walls, projection, lighting, and rigging, to be designed as part of a connected plan rather than addressed separately.

Why AVL Companies Are Seeing This Trend Now

Several factors are driving the increase. Many churches quickly installed their first streaming setups in 2020 and are now ready to replace temporary solutions with permanent, professional-grade systems. Others are expanding into multi-campus models where broadcast quality directly affects how connected remote congregations feel to the main service.

For AVL companies serving the church market, the demand represents both an opportunity and a responsibility. Systems need to be powerful enough for broadcast but intuitive enough for the volunteer teams who run them week after week.

Churches across the Charlotte region and the Southeast interested in evaluating their current broadcast and streaming capabilities are encouraged to call AE Global at 800-467-3709 or visit the website to discuss how AE Global can help them get started.
