In addition to the television program, a radio version of Kasangga Mo ang Langit has also been hosted by Rey Langit and JR Langit. It originally aired on DWIZ before moving to DZRJ Radyo Bandido from 2017 until October 2022. The show then transitioned to DZEC Radyo Agila from December 2022 to February 2025 and currently airs on DWAR Abante Radyo as of March 3, 2025.[1]
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,[2] who died 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.

Perspective
Kasangga Mo ang Langit premiered on IBC from July 18, 1998 to 2000, then moved to RPN from April 7, 2000 to March 10, 2007, 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.[3]
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.[4] 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.
