In those few short words...I realized that I have an identity crisis ... a sort of multiple web personality disorder, if you will. And, so, I have converted OCCO.net -- one of my very first domain acquisitions -- into a "safe harbor", so that when I'm asked, "...hey, Bill, what's your web site?", I can send folks here to explain it all.

You see, I started buying domain names in the mid-nineties ... developing many of them into platforms for various lines of business interests, including marketing communication, broadcast narration, sports production, etc. And, once bitten by the bug, I'd find other catchy domain names which I would buy for future development ... many of which are sitting in some parking lot way out there in cyberspace.

So let me take a moment to show off some of these web sites -- some dating back to the early days of "the web", and each having something to do with a business opportunity created over the 30 year history of The O'Connell Company.

The O'Connell Company is an unincorporated sole proprietorship, founded in 1977 as "Market Research of Austin". The business was originally launched as a public opinion, market research, and analysis resource for general purpose retail, governmental, political candidacy, and public policy clients. Several of these clients were broadcasters; and in the mid-eighties, the company shifted emphasis to strictly broadcast consulting, formatting, and broadcast production -- specifically 'sports' broadcast production.

For fifteen years, O'Connell was found at his courtside 'domain' at the NCAA Basketball "Final Four", serving as Executive Producer of the NCAA Radio Network's post-season tournament wire-to-wire broadcast coverage -- the nation's largest non-racing sports network. He also found his place producing CBS coverage of the Lillehammer and Nagano Winter Olympics, NFL Monday Night and Playoff Football, Major League Baseball, the CBS College Football Game-Of-The-Week and Bowl Championship Series, and served as executive producer of twelve of the nation's top-flight collegiate sports networks, including Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Texas, Texas A&M, and the service academies of Army and Navy.

Recent quests have found OCCO involved in assembling various groups of creative experts, hand selected, to implement marketing and promotional needs of various clients. This unified "team" concept is exemplified by the logo "TEAM OC" -- the internet moniker carried over into the not-so-cyberspace reality.

Here are but a few of our current web sites:
