Why is Blockbuster’s Class B common stock so thinly traded?
Blockbuster’s Class B common stock began trading on October 14, 2004 in conjunction with Blockbuster’s divesture from Viacom. There is no difference between Blockbuster’s Class A and Class B common stock except for voting rights. There are, however, far more shares of Class A common stock outstanding, so most of the trading occurs in that class.
