Although Skinner has said that "Radio 1's DJs hated Newsbeat" it's unlikely that Peel was among these as this was referred more to those who had the lunchtime slot. As a promoter of 'new wave' rather than 'pop', the two would have shared similar tastes in music. Like Peel, Skinner also featured studio sessions although these were mainly from bands who may have been previously featured by Peel and had already broken into the mainstream, notable examples being Undertones, Depeche Mode, the Cure, Soft Cell, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Killing Joke. Top of the Pops

Peel was guest on Skinner's Round Table programme five times, after he had taken over the show in mid-1981. The show was produced by John Walters. On Skinner's early evening show on 28 August 1984, Peel and John Walters reflected on their weekend in Plymouth at the start of the Radio 1 week in the South West.[1] Peel also made contributions to Skinner's Saturday Live show during 1984. Top of the Pops Skinner began presenting Top of the Pops in December 1980 although aside from the 1981 and 1982 multi-presenter Christmas shows did not co-present a show with Peel until August 1984, standing in for David Jensen, and later in January 1985, when producers were obviously trying out different 'partners' for Peel after Jensen had left (eventually settling on Janice Long).
