Radio talk-show host Neil Rogers retires

The Miami Herald reported that Neil Rogers, one of the United States' best talk show hosts, took a buyout check and retired today. Rogers, 66, and Miami's WQAM-AM 560 jointly announced that he is leaving his 10 a.m.-to-2 p.m. slot. In 1976 Rogers announced he was gay on the air. His acerbic talk show was biting and hilarious in South Florida, and for a few years in the late '80s he was simulcast on a Tampa radio station that also featured Bob Lassiter. Rogers will be missed.
