Goldner befriended the broadcast [[journalist]] Jule B. McGee (born c. 1937), then of WLCY. the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate in Tampa, who had a legal dispute with the station that was settled when Goldner intervened on McGee's behalf.  WLCY forbade employees who left the station from working at another affiliate in the Tampa television market for a year afterward. McGee left WLCY to become news director, an off-air position, at WTVT. When WLCY brought McGee to court, McGee went to Goldner, who told him the WLCY requirement was not legally binding. A grateful McGee described Goldner as "the most wonderful, liberal Republican I ever met ... he was like a father to me."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.big13.net/Jule%20McGee/jule_mcgee_2.htm|title=JULE McGEE STORY Continued...|publisher=big13.net|accessdate=June 1, 2014}}</ref>
