According to a 1974 memorandum from J. Richard Munro, vice president of the corporate group overseeing film and television, Computer Television Incorporated (CTI) was Time Inc.'s "entry into the new business of marketing movies and other video product for pay in hotels." Paul Klein served as President of CTI from 1971 to 1974. In 1974, Klein resigned as president and became chairman of the CTI board. Austin Furst succeeded him leaving his roles as senior vice president and chief operating officer of CTI. Furst later became the head of Time-Life Films.
