Peel did several programmes for the radio station between 1993 and 1994, recorded at Peel Acres. According to a 2005 Portuguese language blog, a Portuguese DJ named António Sérgio along with another person met Peel in Manchester and offered him a chance to do programmes for the show, which he accepted:

"'John Peel teve um programa em Portugal, durante o primeiro ano de vida da XFM. Uma hora semanal, gravada expressamente no seu estúdio caseiro, para a rádio para uma imensa minoria, que nos abriu apetites para novas músicas boas histórias. Conheci-o precisamente quando, em conjunto com o António Sérgio, fui a Manchester em 1993 para estabelecer contactos para a XFM. Peel aceitou o desafio da pequena nova rádio portuguesa e deu-nos uma entrevista, então publicada no Blitz e mais tarde emitida na X.'"
