Narrative:
Air carrier X off opposite direction runway 8 ont; climbing to 4;000 ft. Cherokee off ajo climbing to 4;000 ft; stopped at 3;000 ft when communications were not transferred in a timely manner. I called to verify runway traffic configuration. Air carrier X 1 1/2 south of ont; I reached out to see if he was on frequency (not there) ont tower called and informed me that he was issued the wrong clearance and that they would re-clear and transfer communication after clearance was issued. I instructed the tower to transfer communication and I would give him alternate instructions. Communication was not transferred in a timely manner after coordination with the tower. Air carrier X checked on frequency abeam pdz. I originally gave him a right turn then realized he was going to fast and had already passed pdz to make the turn and remain clean of the MVA's so I immediately re-issued instructions for a left turn and an immediate climb above the MVA's. Air carrier X entered the edge of a 5;300 ft MVA as he was leaving 4;000 ft.

Title: SCT Controller described a below MVA event when ONT Tower failed to transfer radio communication on a departure as requested.
Narrative: Air Carrier X off opposite direction Runway 8 ONT; climbing to 4;000 FT. Cherokee off AJO climbing to 4;000 FT; stopped at 3;000 FT when communications were not transferred in a timely manner. I called to verify runway traffic configuration. Air Carrier X 1 1/2 South of ONT; I reached out to see if he was on frequency (not there) ONT Tower called and informed me that he was issued the wrong clearance and that they would re-clear and transfer communication after clearance was issued. I instructed the Tower to transfer communication and I would give him alternate instructions. Communication was not transferred in a timely manner after coordination with the Tower. Air Carrier X checked on frequency abeam PDZ. I originally gave him a right turn then realized he was going to fast and had already passed PDZ to make the turn and remain clean of the MVA's so I immediately re-issued instructions for a left turn and an immediate climb above the MVA's. Air Carrier X entered the edge of a 5;300 FT MVA as he was leaving 4;000 FT.
