International Datacasting Corporation (TSX:IDC), a global leader in digital content distribution for the world's premiere broadcasters, today announced record-setting profitability and revenue results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year-end periods ended January 31, 2011.
Following two consecutive quarters of profitability, IDC's momentum continued as the Company posted its best ever results in the final quarter of fiscal 2011.

International Datacasting's fiscal year-end 2011 revenue was $34.4 million, its best year ever, up 48% from fiscal 2010, and up 64% excluding the impact of foreign exchange.
