Aiello has traveled extensively to bring viewers the New York angle on important stories. He broadcast live from St. Peter's Square in Rome after the election of Pope Francis in 2013, and flew to Paris hours after the terror attacks of November 2015 to lead the station's coverage.

He is former board secretary of the Westchester Philharmonic, and trustee of ArtsWestchester, which recently presented him with its "Voice of the Arts Award."

He has served as emcee of the Italian Welfare League's "Autumn in New York" luncheon for almost a decade, helping the IWL to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to support its mission.
In 2002, Aiello was asked to lead Westchester County's official ceremony marking the first anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. He has also delivered keynote speeches for groups including the Enrico Fermi Scholarship Foundation, the Sons of Italy, and the National Parks Service. He is a longtime supporter of The Christophers and a presenter at their prestigious awards ceremony honoring media that "uplift the human spirit."
