The morning show’s Al Roker, Sheinelle Jones, Dylan Dreyer, and crew, took a ride to Roosevelt Island Wednesday afternoon to tape a segment for the show’s “Favorite Things” feature.
According to Alonza Robertson, public information officer for the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC), the news team spoke briefly with RIOC’s vice president of operations, Shelton Hayes, and Tram operator Armando Cordova of Leitner-Pimardova to learn more about the Tram’s history and operation.
The piece is set to air on The Today Show the week of March 19.
