The refurbished N8 set debuted at 05:00 UKT on 7th July 2008, exactly 11 weeks after BBC World News rebranded. This also coincided with a small schedule change on the channel (primarily the launching of Mishal Husain's edition of World News Today). I believe that N9 continued to be used for overnights for a week longer, before being mothballed.
BBC World News' set changes over the years:
October 1993: Moved to N1
October 1998: Moved to N9
3rd April 2000: First 'cream and red' main set
April 2001: Sport Today set added
27th August 2001: Second 'cream and red' main set
11th March 2002: BBC (Four) News second set added
12th January 2004: The World second set replaces BBC (Four) News set
12th September 2004: Sport Today set removed
15th November 2004: 'Light-up' main set
25th April 2005: New second set desk
3rd July 2006: Second set enlarged
7th July 2008: Moved to refurbished N8 set
14th July 2008: Overnights move to N8, N9 is mothballed
January/February 2010: N8 set is refreshed in stages
14th January 2013: 12:00-19:00 moves to NBH-B, 19:00-02:00; 08:00-12:00 moves to NBH-C
28th January 2013: 02:00-08:00 moves to NBH-C
