KEIB is a conservative talk radio station. They host Rush Limbaugh.
To take it step (or two) further, the sports format currently on KLAC was originally on 1150 (back then known as KXTA from 1997 to 2006). The backstory, iHeart (then known as Clear Channel) operated two sports stations here in SoCal--1150 here in L.A. and 690 in San Diego. 690 and 1150 merged their programming schedules, to become "XTRA Sports 690 & 1150", with a complete simulcast with a few exceptions. Fast forward to sometime later, 570, 690 and 1150 swapped programming formats, with 570 going sports, 690 going music (Sinatra-type music), and 1150 going liberal talk. Clear Channel later lost operational control of 690 (the station was always owned by Mexican interests), and became Spanish-language news/talk. Of course, since then 1150 and KFI 640 swapped talk formats, including moving Rush from KFI to 1150 a couple years ago.
When I got into listening to sports talk radio in the early 90s, you just had the original KMPC Sportsradio 710 (they had the Clips, Rams, Angels, and UCLA sports at that time) and XTRA Sports 690 (which had the Gretzky-era Kings and the Chargers among their properties, and was one of ESPN Radio's first affiliates). I always thought that 690 was arguably the best sports radio station in SoCal, and pretty much outlasted any L.A. radio station that tried sports in the '90s.
