'''''Tonic''''' was a Canadian radio program, which debuted on March 19, 2007 on [CBC Radio 2](/source/CBC_Radio_2).<ref>[http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/programming/radio/tonic Tonic]. [Canadian Communications Foundation](/source/Canadian_Communications_Foundation).</ref>

It played a blend of [jazz](/source/jazz) music with [Latin jazz](/source/Latin_jazz), [soul](/source/soul_music), [R&B](/source/R%26B) and world [groove](/source/groove_(music)), and aired from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.  The program was originally hosted by [Katie Malloch](/source/Katie_Malloch) weekdays from [Montreal](/source/Montreal) and [Tim Tamashiro](/source/Tim_Tamashiro) on weekends from [Calgary](/source/Calgary); after Malloch's retirement from the CBC in early 2012, Tamashiro was the sole host until his final show on June 30, 2017.  For the summer of 2017, the show was hosted by 5 different Canadian female jazz artists.

It originally aired from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. nightly. The change occurred on June 29, 2009 when it switched places with ''[Canada Live](/source/Canada_Live)'', which had previously followed ''Tonic'' in the 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. slot. The program also formerly aired a Sunday edition as well, but this was dropped when the network added ''[The Strombo Show](/source/The_Strombo_Show)'' on Sunday nights.

It ended September 2, 2017, and was replaced by ''After Dark with [Odario Williams](/source/Odario_Williams)''.
