KLAA 830 AM is the flagship station of the Los Angeles Angels. It is a sports format radio station licensed in Orange, California. It is owned by the Angels. It is the only Orange County station with adequate coverage of the Los Angeles County area. As an Angels fan, I only listen to the station when the games are on. The station also has rights to broadcast the games for the Anaheim Ducks (NHL), Oakland Raiders (NFL) and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (College Football).
The other various sports talk shows that are on during the day are not worth listening to, such as Roger Lodge's show.

A little personal story about Jose Mota. My mom and I were fortunate to meet him one time at a Trader Joe's store in San Dimas California. We were going about our day getting groceries and he was standing in line at one of the checkout counters paying for his groceries. After a few seconds of trying to figure out if it was indeed Mr. Mota, we went up to him and he was kind enough to have his picture taken with us inside the store!
Fox Sports West and Prime Ticket are American regional sports networks that are affiliates of Fox Sports Networks which serve Southern and Central California, southern Nevada and Hawaii. The channels are owned by Fox Cable Networks, a unit of the Fox Entertainment Group division of 21st Century Fox. Prime Ticket had the rights to Los Angeles Dodgers telecasts before the team started its own regional sports network with Time Warner Cable called Sportsnet LA in 2014.
Fox Sports West holds the exclusive rights to approximately 150 Angels games throughout the season. When other local team's games such as the Kings (NHL), Clippers (NBA), or Ducks (NHL) overlap with the Angels, the games can then be found on either Prime Ticket or on local channel KCOP 13 (very rare occurrences). Select national broadcasts of Angel games can be found on Fox Saturday Baseball, ESPN, TBS and MLB Network.
