[Spooks] MANH(A)TTAN Numbers Station Audio

[Les Rayburn]

The new original series by Chicago's WGN called "Manhattan" about the 
project to build the atomic bomb is set in New Mexico in 1944. While 
it's a great show, and compelling to watch, there is a hidden treat for
numbers station fans as two of the three episodes aired to date have 
contained radio traffic from numbers stations embedded within the 
soundtrack.

So far, I haven't been able to identify which stations are being 
used--but they're more modern than the show's period setting. In the 
first episode, numbers traffic in English is layered in with static, and 
other noises to create a suitable "spooky" atmosphere while the show's 
graphic opening sequence (which debuted in episode three) contains some 
numbers traffic in German.
