KLAA (830 kHz "Angels Radio") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to the city of Orange, California, and broadcasting to the Greater Los Angeles Area. The station is owned by LAA 1, LLC, composed of the owners and executives of the Los Angeles Angels baseball team, and is held separately from the baseball club. KLAA's studios and offices are located on the grounds of Angel Stadium of Anaheim in Anaheim, California. The transmitter is in Chino, California, off McCarty Road.

KLAA broadcasts by day at the maximum power permitted for commercial AM stations, 50,000 watts. Because 830 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, on which WCCO in Minneapolis is the dominant Class A station, KLAA must reduce power to 20,000 watts from sunset to sunrise. KLAA mostly carries ESPN Radio network programing except for coverage of Angels and Las Vegas Raiders games and a local afternoon sports show, The Sports Lodge with Roger Lodge. On weekends, paid brokered programming is heard. Los Angeles has another ESPN Radio affiliate, KSPN (710 AM), so the two stations sometimes air the same programming.

The station's operations are overseen by general manager Dennis Kuhl, chairman of the Los Angeles Angels.
