June 30, 2009 - Michigan boaters, motorcyclists, snowmobilers and operators of other recreational vehicles can learn about various insurance coverage options, and how to reduce premium costs, on the latest episode of "Insurance 101 with Butch Hollowell," set to begin airing this week on cable stations throughout the state.

"The Great Lakes State has the among the highest number of boat owners in the nation, and it ranks close to the top in terms of snowmobile ownership as well, so we wanted to help viewers understand the best ways to insure these vehicles and save money in the process," Hollowell said. "My guest on this month's episode, independent insurance agent Pete Hanover, is an expert in recreational vehicle insurance, and he explains the various options in clear, easy-to-understand terms."

"Insurance 101 with Butch Hollowell," a monthly show, is aimed at educating consumers about automobile and home insurance issues. The 30-minute program explains confusing insurance terms in plain language, answers individual consumers' insurance-related questions, and provides viewers with helpful tips and tools so that they are well-prepared to buy the best insurance coverage for the money.

Hollowell hosts the show and interviews invited guests, including insurance agents and experts from the insurance industry. A regular feature of the show is an "Ask the Advocate" segment in which a consumer asks Hollowell an insurance-related question.

"Insurance 101 with Butch Hollowell" has been released to more than 80 cable stations statewide and is expected to run multiple times throughout each month. New shows will be produced monthly. Check local listings for air dates and times. Previous episodes can be viewed by visiting the Insurance Advocate website at www.michigan.gov/lowerratesnow.

As Michigan's Automobile and Home Insurance Consumer Advocate, Hollowell works to educate consumers on how to protect themselves against predatory or illegal insurance practices and coordinate advocacy and educational efforts with non-governmental consumer advocacy entities and other organizations.
