Heard on the radio. The announcer said "Ponte a punta" at the end of his conversation about some upcoming shows. Is it "be on time"?

So where did my earlier post vanish to?

This is an announcer advertizing something ahead so how about "Get tuned in". Put yourself on the spot.

"Ponte a punto"could be that you are ready for something or be prepared.

I think it's imperatif form of ponerse a punta. But I thought punta generally meant "end" and I think "ponerse a algo" means address oneself to something , I'm just guessing but it may be meaning "it's the end" but Im not sure... If it had been punto i'd have thought just like you but now no... Maybe Im wrong , if anyone knows ,let's see what he shares with us!

"Ponte a punta" is not a phrase I have heard before. The announcer might have said "Ponte a apuntar." That means "Write this down." Like, "This is when the upcoming shows will air, make a note of it." He probably said it quickly, so you didn't hear the last letter or the separation of the a's in the middle. Just my guess.
