'The Game' Barely Continues

So it seems CWTV's The Game has made it to season 3.

According to TheYBF.com, The Game will start taping season 3 in two months but in order to save the show cutbacks had to be made.

While taping the new season there will be 'no studio audience, no food on set, no heavy rider requests,...just actors, set, crew and action!', leaked an insider who attended the season wrap party held last week.

Ok. Are black shows doing that poorly these days that in order to keep them on the air actions like this have to be taken?
