Method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for forward error correction (FEC) in a content distribution system is described. One aspect of the invention relates to encoding frames of content. In one example, each frame is set partitioned into un-coded bits and bits to be encoded. For each frame, parity bits are computed for the bits to be encoded using low density parity check (LDPC) coding to generate a codeword having information bits and the parity bits. Groups of interleaved bits from the information bits in the codeword are generated. Symbols formed from the bit groups and the un-coded bits are pseudorandomly interleaved. The symbols are then mapped to points in a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation.
