GOLDBERG SUSPENSION OVER, BUT WHEN WILL HE RETURN TO WQAM?

          Although Hank Goldberg's suspension has ended at FL
     radio station WQAM, Goldberg "will not be back on the air
     today," and WQAM part-Owner & GM Greg Reed "says it's '50-
     50' whether Goldberg will return to WQAM at all," according
     to Barry Jackson of the MIAMI HERALD.  Reed said Wednesday
     he will decide in the next week "whether to dismiss
     Goldberg, who has angered Reed by making personal attacks at
     several targets, including some associated with" Wayne
     Huizenga.  Goldberg was scheduled to begin a vacation
     Friday, but Jackson reports that "Reed is having Goldberg
     begin that (with pay) today, through at least July 6." 
     Reed, on Goldberg's future: "We're evaluating the whole
     relationship (with Goldberg)."  Sandy Bohrer, Goldberg's
     attorney: "Hank's ready to go to work (today).  I don't
     understand what's going on" (MIAMI HERALD, 6/26).  
          RETURN DATE? In Ft. Lauderdale, Tom Jicha reports that
     Goldberg will be back on the air on Monday, July 14.  WQAM
     Program Dir Duff Lindsey said the new return date "is a
     result of practical considerations, not additional
     punishment."  Goldberg will be covering a horse race in
     Atlantic City for ESPN this weekend (SUN SENTINEL, 6/26).
