L'Avenir (Belgian newspaper)

When the Armistice of 11 November 1918 was announced and the German troops evacuated the city, the Bishop of Namur, Monsignor Heylen, removed Victor Delvaux as publisher and negotiated a management contract with and leased the premises to René Delforge.

[2] In May 1983, Vers l'Avenir launched its own radio on the 100.0 MHz frequency in the Namur region which broadcast until the early 1990s.

In 2013, Corelio divested l'Avenir to the Liège-based Tecteo energy group[4][5] for 26 million euros.

This decreased to 94,000 units in 2014 for a paid sales of 84,000 copies, of which about 2.5% represents digital subscriptions (CIM figures).

This decline of about 10% is significantly lower than the loss of 22% for the total of the francophone daily press in Belgium over the same period.
