Rey Langit launched the program after his unsuccessful senatorial bid in the 1998 Presidential Elections under the Partido ng Demokratikong Reporma–Lapiang Manggagawa (Reporma–LM). His first co-host was his son, the late Reyster Langit,[http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2005/jun/04/yehey/metro/20050604met1.html Reyster Langit succumbs to malaria]{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=Josve05a |fix-attempted=yes }} who passed away due to heart failure caused by cerebral malaria, which he contracted while on assignment in Palawan. Following Reyster’s passing, his brother, Reynante "JR" Langit, Jr., took over as co-host.
History
Kasangga Mo ang Langit premiered on RPN on July 10, 1998, with Rey Langit and his son, Reyster Langit, as hosts. Rey, who had previously run for senator in the 1998 elections under the Partido ng Demokratikong Reporma–Lapiang Manggagawa (Reporma–LM), co-hosted the show with Reyster until the latter's passing in 2005.[http://www.philstar.com/entertainment/280274/reyster-langit-succumbs-cerebral-malaria Reyster Langit succumbs to cerebral malaria]
On June 2, 2005, Reyster Langit died at age 32 from heart failure due to cerebral malaria, which he contracted while on assignment in Palawan.[http://www.philstar.com/bansa/280350/patay-sa-malaria-reyster-langit-bumigay-din Patay sa malaria: Reyster Langit bumigay din] Before his passing, he wrote a heartfelt message to his family about the value of helping others through journalism. He was laid to rest at Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque.
Following Reyster’s death, his brother, JR Langit, joined their father as co-host on both Kasangga Mo ang Langit and Biyaheng Langit. The show later moved networks multiple times: to IBC (2008–2013), PTV (2013–2019), and RJTV (2019–2022).
On February 12, 2022, Rey Langit stepped down to run for senator, leaving JR as the sole host until the first incarnation of the show concluded later that year. By then, it had transitioned into a magazine-style program, with elements carried over into its radio edition, which continued airing with taped episodes streamed on social media.
On March 15, 2025, Kasangga Mo ang Langit relaunched as a standalone TV program on the Bilyonaryo News Channel. This came after the show's daily radio edition moved from Radyo Agila to Abante Radyo on March 3, 2025.
