KEIB (1150 AM) is a radio station licensed to Los Angeles, California, and serving Greater Los Angeles. Owned by iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel Communications until September 2014) and licensed to its Citicasters Licenses, the station brands itself as The Patriot, and currently broadcasts a conservative talk format. The station's studios are located in Burbank and its transmitter is located in the City of Industry.
The weekday schedule on "The Patriot" features Clark Howard, Armstrong and Getty, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity (Noon-3pm), Glenn Beck, Dave Ramsey and Meghan McCain. Weekends feature former KNBC newsman and KFI news reader David Cruz hosting a two-hour program that deals with local issues.
The station was the flagship outlet of the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League and the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer until 2014. Currently, the station airs games of the UCLA Bruins, and Anaheim Ducks, in case of conflicts with their regular radio stations. It has also aired National Football League games from Westwood One. During the KTLK era the station was the former radio home of the Los Angeles Clippers (traded to KSPN in exchange for Kings' rights, now on KLAC), the Los Angeles Sparks (contract not renewed after 2008), and the Los Angeles Avengers (team folded in 2009).
