He reported the biggest news stories of the period, including the Soviet intervention in the Hungarian Revolution (in his very first bulletin; the events in Hungary caused the scheduled commencement of the ABC-TV news service to be brought forward), the assassination of John F. Kennedy (1963), the disappearance of Prime Minister Harold Holt (1967), the Apollo 11 Moon landing (1969), the destruction of Darwin by Cyclone Tracy (1974), and the dismissal of the Whitlam government (1975).〔 He appeared as himself in episodes of the ABC-TV comedy series ''Our Man In Canberra'' and ''Our Man In The Company'' episodes, narrated segments of the radiophonic works '(What's Rangoon To You Is Grafton To Me )'(1978) 〔("What's Rangoon to you is Grafton to me" ).

Dibble also did voice-over work for many newsreels, documentaries〔Jensen, Erik ("James Dibble, 'the face and voice of the ABC', dies at 87" ). Sydney Morning Herald, 14 December 2010. Retrieved 14 December 2010〕 and educational films.〔 Spanning almost 30 years, his career at the ABC ended with his retirement in 1983. His last broadcast was on 10 June of that year.〔 However, in 1992 he returned to read the 8pm radio news from 1932 during a broadcast marking the 60th anniversary of ABC Radio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Dibble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
