Blockbuster Targets Circuit City

Blockbuster said it offered in February to acquire Circuit City for at least $6 a share in cash, in a deal that would create an $18 billion company, but that the electronics retailer has failed to give the "due diligence necessary to allow Blockbuster to make a definitive proposal."

The entertainment firm said it is now making the proposal public to give shareholders "the opportunity to participate in determining the destiny of the company."
