Sunday Brunch will temporarily move from Channel 4 to E4 on March 8 due to coverage of the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games.
The popular show Sunday Brunch will shift from its traditional airing on Channel 4 to E4 starting March 8, as Channel 4 will be focusing on broadcasting the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games.
