Artesia Goes Hollywood

Cast of Roswell FM

Carlsbad Current-Argus - ARTESIA — The Artesia studios of Pecos Valley Broadcasting - home of KSVP AM and KZ93 FM radio — took on a new set of call letters for as it plays a fictional radio station for the filming of "Roswell FM", a comedy/romance being shot on locations in Roswell and Artesia. Set in Roswell at the fictional station KLEN, the movie revolves around an FM radio station that specializes in focusing on the paranormal and the bizarre. Producer Carl Lucas, a Roswell native and former employee of Pecos Valley Broadcasting is now working in California, said PVB general manager Gene Dow. He said Lucas didn't have to look far for a set location. "When Carl got involved with the project and knew they needed a location, he knew this would be the place," said Dow. "The art director and advance team came through and they thought our studios would be perfect," he said. Filming has been underway in Roswell since late July and began in Artesia this week. Dow said his radio staff and the film crew have learned to work around each other. "We are the set, and we're still running our radio station," he said. "They started shooting Tuesday and will be here through Wednesday of next week." Read full story here: News New Mexico
