Now I'm not surprised I havent been able to find anything on this online anywhere... seems like this is a common issue with no well known approach. We've all seen this done in various apps, so I know its possible -- it's just... how?

Would anyone who'se figured this out care to shed some light and advice?

I'm pasting the a screenshot of what I've got so far (note the third cell is cut off and not multiline) as well as the code I've been using below.

I appreciate all of your wisdom and advice

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
	return [programDetails count];
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
	UITableViewCell *cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:nil] autorelease];
		
	if (indexPath.row == 0) { // program name
		cell.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize: 12];
	} else if (indexPath.row == 1) { // program tagline
		cell.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize: 12];
	} else { // program description
		cell.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize: 10];
	}
	
	cell.text = [programDetails objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
	
	return cell;
}

// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
	[super viewDidLoad];
	
	self.tableView.rowHeight = 50;
	
	programDetails = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
	
	[self loadProgramData];
}
