Adjust your antennas [and stay tuned!]
Or: "Tune" in and stay with us!
I agree that you can tune an antenna, but I would tell my listeners to just "adjust their antenna and stay tuned", because of the sentence itself: "Ajustem a antena e fiquem ligados!" Tune your antenna and stay tuned, sounds funny.

To tune and antenna (fixed frame) requires equipment, just like the one those satellite/cable guys do to find the best position. It is technical so in order to avoid a literal translation, we are at liberty to translate accordingly.
