<P> After releasing two albums near the end of the boy band fad of the late 1990s and early 2000s, the group disbanded in 2003 . The group was originally managed by Lou Pearlman during their first season of Making the Band, but later managed by Mike Cronin and Mike Morin for their debut album and remaining television seasons . </P> <P> The group reformed in 2013 as a quartet after Ashley Parker Angel turned down the offer . </P> <P> The band was named after Orlando, Florida, despite the fact that none of the band members came from the city . </P> <P> O - Town was assembled for the first season of the ABC reality television series Making the Band . Originally Ikaika Kahoano was one of the five members selected but he and his family decided he should go to med school instead causing him to back out, making way for Dan Miller who was selected by the four remaining members . The ratings of Making the Band were strong enough to warrant a second (and eventually third) season . These subsequent seasons depicted their development as a pop group, following their tours and performances . Such events included the development of their second album, O2, their transition to a new record label (J Records), and an ongoing effort to establish themselves . The third season of Making the Band was broadcast on MTV, instead of the original network, ABC . </P>
