Unfortunately I don't have any information about the media, however I know that in 1996, the government of Tamil Nadu officially changed the name from Madras to Chennai. 
 Hello, Can you tell me about Chennai? 
 That is interesting. Do you have information on the culture 
 Chennai , formerly known as Madras, is the capital city of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It was founded in 1661 by the British east India Company.
