    yourTableView.delegate = self

    yourTableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "subtitleCell")

}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return yourTableViewArray.count
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {
    let cell: UITableViewCell = yourTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("subtitleCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell

    cell.textLabel?.text = "the text you want on main title"
    cell.detailTextLabel?.text = "the text you want on subtitle"

    return cell
}
