Baiko Pilota —named Asegarce until January 2019[1]— is a Basque event production and deportive license company, mainly devoted to Basque pelota. Through the Bainet company, it has also made audiovisual productions.

History

[edit]

It was established in 1992 by Karlos Arguiñano and Iñaki Aseguinolaza, among others. Its creation was revolutionary for Basque pelota, giving it a professional structure, and starting the TV transmission of the sport, mainly in the Basque Country, La Rioja and Castilla y León.

In 1993 it took the lead of Eusko – Basque, that had until then exclusive rights on professional jai alai. So, together with the rights it had achieved before, Asegarce had exclusive rights on the categories of hand-pelota, pala (bat) and jai alai.
