Talk show host Neil Rogers, who had said he would leave WQAM-AM (560) at the end of the year rather than take a pay cut, instead agreed over the weekend to a new five-year contract with the station, station general manager Joe Bell said Sunday.

Rogers' contract was to expire in December. His new deal runs through 2013. He's the only general talk host on a station otherwise dedicated to sports.

Bell declined to discuss financial terms. But Rogers is expected to take a pay cut from his annual salary, which reportedly is in the range of $1.5 million. Rogers, 65, is expected to address the matter Monday.
