Central Florida Roadtrip was born out of an idea to allow viewers to learn more about the cities and towns in which they live and visit. The first show premiered on October 8, 2017, in Sanford, Florida, originally called Mellonville. Each week, a different city or area in Central Florida is in the spotlight as the show explores our local community! About the Host: Dr. Phil Hoffman: 'Like so many folks who experience Orlando, I thought I had been to Orlando many times before I ever arrived at WUCF. From 1997-2016, we visited the area on family vacations a total of 14 times from our home in the frozen tundra of Northeast Ohio. And our experience was centered around attractions and theme parks. So it was a real eye-opener for me after moving to Orlando in 2016 -- as they say at the Orlando Economic Partnership, 'I didn't know the half of it.' Not even close to half.'
