Tonic is a Canadian radio program, which debuted on March 19, 2007 on CBC Radio 2. It plays a blend of jazz music with Latin jazz, soul, R&B and world groove, and currently airing from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. The program was originally hosted by Katie Malloch weekdays from Montreal and Tim Tamashiro on weekends from Calgary; since Malloch's retirement from the CBC in early 2012, Tamashiro has been the sole host.
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, 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 on Sunday nights.
