Each hour-long episode begins with Ramos delivering the show’s catchphrase, “vamos al punto” (let’s get to the point), before presenting the top story of the week.

Moderators who have guest-hosted the show include Ilia Calderón, Satcha Pretto, Enrique Acevedo, León Krauze, Félix de Bedout, Luis Carlos Vélez, and Elián Zidán.

During his opening monologue in Al Punto's inaugural broadcast, host Jorge Ramos explained the concept for the show, saying: “This is the political space that was so needed in Spanish, and we think it arrives just in time.

Al Punto has received seven nominations for GLAAD Media Awards for its coverage of LGBTQ issues and figures, most recently in 2024 in the “Outstanding TV Journalism” category.

According to Ramos, Maduro “didn’t like the things we were asking him about the lack of democracy in Venezuela, the torture and the political prisoners.” The Venezuelan regime confiscated the Univision production team’s equipment, including their phones and camera memory cards.

On three occasions, most recently in February 2024, Ramos has traveled to Mexico City to question President López Obrador during the Mexican leader’s daily press conference.

As he often does with journalists who are critical of his policies, President López Obrador has attacked Ramos by name on dozens of occasions during his official daily press conferences.
