The piece to camera, or P2C, is a prized weapon in the armoury of television journalists. It is a correspondent’s signature on a news story, and like with all signatures, they range from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Can we import Chand Nawab to conduct “Love Of Cricket” in CNN-IBN?
I think, it will be better than Gaurav Kalra’s current programme.
