As part of its broadcast services, IDC has been providing programming to Canadian Forces Personnel and Support Agency (CFPSA), a department of National Defence Canada (DND), to provide morale-based television and radio programming to deployed Canadian Forces serving overseas on land and at sea. The programmed service is called Canadian Forces Radio and Television (CFRT).

IDC has worked in close collaboration with CFPSA since January 2000. From the main studio facility located in Ottawa, programming is broadcast anywhere Canadian military are deployed. Regions of focus for CFRT are in Afghanistan, UAE, Egypt, Germany, and when required, CFRT also is provided on the Canadian Navy ships in the Persian Gulf. CFRT is delivered to these locations through satellite and this closed circuit network is fully encrypted to ensure programming is secure to prevent any re-broadcast.
As CFRT is a morale based service, it provides Canadian soldiers with programming that they would normally receive in Canada and establishes a much needed link to home. IDC operates CFRT programming on a 24/7 basis in French and English, Canada’s official languages.
