It's called "Balleilakka Song"

It's based here in Toronto, Canada (it's actually in Scarborough, which is a borough of Toronto - think Manhattan or Queens in relation to New York City). They're called Vanakkam FM, and I listen to them through TuneIn here. You can also find their website here. I like them because they seem to play a mix of Kollywood songs and Tamil pop songs (I think I've even heard Tamil dance and rap). I also like them because they use SL Tamil for the ads and when the DJs speak. The SL accent is more familiar for me, although most Tamil resources teach the TN accent. But if you only know TN pronunciation, this could be a good way to hear some SL pronunciation!

in Central provinces and in the capital.
