So airplanes and other aircraft won't crash into them. So airplanes don't hit them. FYI, Airport Towers have a rotating beacon that has a white light that shines out several miles and on the back of this is a green light. This helps aircraft locate civilian airports in bad weather.

Why are lights on radio towers sometimes white sometimes red sometimes blinking sometimes not and change from day to day?

Not 100% Certain, but based on my observations, I'd say it's either due to the type of structure it is, and how tall the structure is. There are those huge red and white towers that are used for airline communication during mid-flight. These always have Red lights the fade on and off. Antenna's (On towers or tall buildings) have white strobes Taller Bridges usually have constant red lights on the highest points. Again, these are only OBSERVATIONS!! : )

What is blinking red and blue in the sky and it is not a plane?

Aircraft have red and GREEN wingtip lights, not red and blue. (And you cannot see both the red and green lights together, unless it is heading straight toward you.)
