Lloyd Alfred "Hap" Glaudi (November 7, 1912 – December 29, 1989) was lead sportscaster for New Orleans CBS affiliate WWL-TV.

Fellow broadcaster Ron Brocato reported that Glaudi himself financed his high school education through fortunate winnings at the horse race track.

"[3] During his freshman year at Jesuit High he entered the English Writing Contest with a story about an exercise boy at the New Orleans Fairgrounds who discovers a criminal plot.

Hap Glaudi's transition to broadcast journalism coincided with the rise of local television news, as afternoon daily newspapers declined in circulation.

During this time, WWL-TV emerged as the premier local television news station in New Orleans, with Glaudi as lead sportscaster.

With a soft spot for horse racing and prep sports, these remained a focal point of Glaudi's broadcasts, continuing even after the arrival of the New Orleans Saints to the market in 1967.

[7] WWL (AM) being a 50,000 watt "clear-channel station", Glaudi's radio broadcasts were heard through much of the United States and even into Ontario, Canada.

[9] Glaudi appeared in a December 19, 1964, episode of CBS-TV's hit show Gunsmoke, "Aunt Thede," in a bit part as a Townsman.
